cigarette smoke

Ashtray's lingering cloud

Cigarette smoke is the mixture of gases and fine particles released when a cigarette burns.

It contains nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide, and thousands of other chemicals.

The term often appears in discussions of health risks, both for smokers and those exposed to secondhand smoke: The restaurant banned cigarette smoke indoors.

The distinctive smell clings to clothing, furniture, and hair.
