smokers

Meat-curing appliances

Smokers are people who smoke tobacco regularly.

The term usually implies habitual use rather than occasional smoking: The office designated an outdoor area for smokers.

Smokers also refers to informal social gatherings, traditionally for men, where smoking and drinking are central activities—though this sense has faded as smoking has become less socially acceptable.
