spark up
Start a cigarette
To spark up is to light something for smoking—a cigarette, joint, or pipe: He sparked up a cigarette on the porch.
The phrase suggests the initial flame that gets things burning.
By extension, spark up can mean to enliven or energize: The new hire really sparked up the team.
In casual use, it often implies smoking marijuana: Want to spark up after work?
