Ohhhhh I gotcha. Thanks for linking it to Wikipedia! I think I got confused because I didn’t see the relation with stick, and I feel like the abbreviated form of the word used to describe a cigarette is quite an outdated term now.
Honestly when you mentioned smoke, I was thinking of it as a noun with the second context you mentioned. But not being a tobacco smoker myself, the devil’s lettuce popped into my mind instead.
Probably the Brit synonym for stick or smoke
I’m a Brit and I can’t figure out what word is a synonym for both stick AND smoke. Am I regarded?
I’m being willfully obtuse.
Don’t think: Where there’s smoke, there’s fire
Instead think: Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream
According to Wikipedia its also a meatball.

you might be retired
i think the problem is that “smoke” here is also slang
think like smoke, the verb
or even better, the gerund
