would you append a modifier 25 to the tobacco cessation code or the admission/cc

I work in a hospital our providers admit a lot of patients and we usually append mod 25 to the admission along with the AI mod-- but is it more appropriate to attach it to the 99406
And in cases when patient is critically ill and provider bills 99291, would the 25 mod be attached to 291 code?
