cigarette smoking

Lighting up habit

Cigarette smoking is the act of inhaling and exhaling smoke from burning tobacco rolled in paper.

The phrase appears in medical and public health contexts where precision matters: Cigarette smoking causes lung cancer.

In casual speech, people simply say smoking, but the full phrase distinguishes it from pipes, cigars, or other substances.
