I don’t know where to turn with this question. Pretty sure it’s not worded right either, so I’ll try examples. If I was smoking a cigarette near a gas station and could smell the fuel, are fumes or particles mixing with the tobacco that I am now burning and inhaling? Or is it just that I can smell fuel. If I’m smoking near where someone has sprayed weed killer and I can smell it, is that getting into the cigarette and being burned and inhaled? Or if I drove by someone spraying weed killer and it got in the air vents, am I now inhaling, or is it just the smell.

The smell is the chemical. Don’t need anything burning. If you can smell it, you’re already inhaling it.
when you smell something, it’s physical molecules entering your nose. so yes, it is hitting the cigarette but it’s probably not enough to where it matters anyway
yes if you can smell something, then that smell is the thing and it then it is mixing with the air being taken up in your cigarette.
If concerned about toxicity remember concentration is key and combustion products from burning whatever is in the air at such a low concentration is not really an issue. Hell consider burning all the chemicals in cigarettes that takes years to cause problems and that is being inhaled directly at high concentration.
