Twitter users were quick to make jokes:
Hmmm. I've heard that smoking can lead to hare loss.

I don't blame the rabbit, I blame his role models. pic.twitter.com/SyRTcAYkN9

It might not be a cigarette in the rabbit's mouth at all.
Skeptics say it may be a piece of straw or even a tooth. Regardless, the rabbit seems to be safe with his habit, as the apparent cigarette is not lit.
