From an eBook novel set shortly before the Third Anglo-Burmes War...
"Three women looked around when Andrew entered. All had long Burmese cigars in their mouths while two children sat between them. One a little Burmese boy; the other was undobtdly European, a small girl with ginger hair who smoked her cheroot as adeptly as any Burmese."
The girl is younger than 10, but the author mentions he based it on a historical case from India.

Probably not useable, but thought it worth mentioning.
