Drinking
 Cigarette
A cigarette is a narrow cylinder containing burnable
material, typically tobacco, that is rolled into 
thin paper for smoking. The cigarette is ignited at
one end, causing it to smolder; the resulting smoke
is orally inhaled via the opposite end.

Nicotine, the psychoactive drug in tobacco,

makes cigarettes highly addictive.
