Best Answer

'numinous' means - of or concerned with the spirit rather than the body or material things.
The smoke from the cigarette could be looked on as numinous.
But more than likely the concept has been pushed as part of a marketing exercise to encourage people to smoke by making it seem a spiritual activity.
Of cause we all now realize that smoking cigarettes makes us and the people round us sick (ill) and smells horrible.
