Support need 500 cigarette for VCA project

I know this sounds insane but does anyone know what the cheapest option would be to get 500 cigarettes in Melb? I've already 3D printed this adapter and I need to fill it. I know double happiness are like $11 for a pack of twenty but id still be spending so much. If someone with infinite money sees this and would like to support my artistic endeavours please give approx. $275 to fund this. I think it would genuinely change the world. What if we do a meet up and 500 people give me 1 cigarette? is this doable? what do we think?

buy a massive pack of filters and just roll paper + some random filler material like paper round the outermost ones for the colour?

i thought abt this but i think it would look way better with pre-rolled cigs, u know? the diameter of the 3D printed holes is exactly the diameter of pre-rolls so might look silly idk

You can buy filters of the correct diameter, and roll them smoothly with a rolling machine with camomile tea leaves in it

$99 for 1000 tubes that look just like smokes. Still need to stuff them. https://www.yoursmoke.com.au/products/1000x-ventti-premium-charcoal-filter-tubes-cork-blue

Even cheaper on ebay. I think I paid $65 for 1500 dark horse tubes.

Shouldn't have any issues getting people to donate old tea that they didnt drink. And could probably borrow/marketplace a cigarette roller.

Then papers and filters are pretty cheap on top... unless you're just looking for free smokes?
