Well, smoke, I think, is basically particulate matter mixed with air, so that particulate should have some mass independent of the air it's mixed with.
I suppose you could load a pipe, weigh it, and then smoke it to the bottom without dumping any of the ash. Weight it again afterwards and you would have a rough idea of how much mass had been lost through the burning process. Although I would guess most of the weight loss would be from the water which was evaporated from the tobacco.
Still, it would give you a starting point.

X-Y/Z(9×3.14)/K°×32(A×X^-212)= mass. Solve for Q• .... Q• = Heat Release Rate (HRR)
I hope this helps.

1Coyote, I hope that was snark. I know a shit ton about combustion and it's byproducts.
It's what I do for a living.
Btw, the answer of no flame in a vacuum is actually pretty simplistic.....you can under the right circumstances if you use compression of an oxidizer. It supplies it's own oxygen, but once that specialized oxidizer is consumed your flame goes out. And the flame doesn't really have a shape like you normally see. It's aspherical.
