Reese asked:
How dry will the air be at the burning cherry on a cigarette?
Quite wet, because the combustion adds water vapour to the air. It won't be much good at physically wetting things, because the air is warm, but the water vapour is there and being hot will be chemically quite active. Hold a piece of cool glassware near a bunsen burner or candle flame and you will see lots of condensation. No, not *that* near...
No, put it back in context:
Here's a link to the MSDS http://www.ansul.com/Material_Safety_Data_Sheets/F-85312.pdf it says above 900 F Freon will decompose into hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids. Doesn't mention phosgene,
Try this one:

although you'd proabably get that if the air was dry enough.

How dry will the air be, at that point where the cherry is 900 F or so? Reese
