Answer 2

You can carry cigarettes.  Put them through your checked luggage, the worst they can do is ask you to show them.

Caveat - if you are travelling overseas, check limits on how much you can carry to a specific country for customs purposes.

Answer 3

Yes you can take them thru in your carry on. If you dont want to make security beep make sure you place them in your carryon bag and not on you.
