smoked

Exposed to wood fumes

Smoked describes food preserved or flavored by exposure to smoke: smoked salmon, smoked ham, smoked cheese.

The process adds distinctive flavor while inhibiting spoilage.

Smoked also means past tense of smoke—having inhaled tobacco, cannabis, or other substances: She smoked a cigarette on the porch.

In slang, to get smoked is to be decisively defeated or killed: They got smoked in the finals.
