tobacconists
Smoke shop keepers
Tobacconists are shopkeepers who specialize in selling tobacco products—cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, and related accessories like lighters and humidors.
The term also refers to the shops themselves: There used to be a tobacconist on every corner.
The trade has declined as smoking has become less socially acceptable.
