I'm guessing no. When they talked with David Strathairn during the red carpet Oscar countdown show he said he smoked pipe tobacco rolled into cigarettes during Good Night, and Good Luck. He smoked in a huge percentage of his scenes in that movie (I'd say 80%+) and I would think that if there were such a thing as fake cigarettes they would've had those for him.

He said they use pipe tobacco because it burns slower and the smoke itself looks better on film.
