Does the expired first electric cigarette patent issued to me in 1965 have any value today?

Yes, but only for "bragging rights". Any patent issued in 1965 expired long ago, making the inventions claimed in it "public domain".
Old patent are sometimes "valuable" as "prior art" to prevent others from attempting to patent the same thing AGAIN.

The value of an expired patent depends on various factors such as the technology it covers, market demand, and potential for licensing or commercialization. While an expired patent no longer provides exclusive rights, it can still have historical or informational value. However, to determine its specific value in today's market, you may need to consult with a patent attorney or a professional in the relevant industry.

What do patents protect?
Patents protect inventors from having their work copied by others. The work to be protected must be original, useful, and not obvious. An example of this is the popular drug Zocor. It was under patent until June, 2006, so no other company could make and sell that drug. The patent expired and now other companies can sell the drug labeled with its generic name, Simvastatin. Once issued, a patent can be used to prevent others from making, using, selling or importing any product or service that infringes any valid claim in the issued patent, but only in countries where the patent is issued and valid.
