I can't quite tell because the picture pixelizes quickly when zoomed, but that cigarette looks like a mostly smoked butt.

I don't think it is because it would have been unfiltered back then.

I did consider that. I think she's just got most of it hidden in her hand somehow

The shade from her finger makes it appear shorter. The full length can be judged by the image on the machine.

My guess is she held it up for the picture not just got it from the machine.
