Definition
A combustible tobacco-containing product that is a thin cylinder of finely cut tobacco encased in a thin paper.
Note: Definitions may show angled brackets (< and >) around some of the text to show that it is the parent term.
Comment
The user sets one end alight and ingests smoke by sucking on the other end. The cylinder becomes shorter as the tobacco burns to smoke and ash until either the user extinguishes the burning tobacco or all the tobacco is burnt. This definition includes hand-rolled cigarettes and manufactured cigarettes but not cigarillos, bidis or small cigars. Cigarettes are typically made for the smoke to be inhaled into the lungs.
