chain smoker
Lights one, repeats
A chain smoker is someone who smokes cigarettes continuously, lighting each new one from the previous.
The term evokes links in a chain—an unbroken sequence.
Chain-smoke works as a verb: She chain-smoked through the entire interview.
The habit suggests addiction or anxiety rather than casual enjoyment.
