Smoking tobacco has been a long-standing practice for many centuries and is still prevalent today. However, due to its ill effects on health, the term is being replaced with synonyms. The most common synonym is "vaping," the practice of inhaling vapor produced by an electronic cigarette or similar device. Another term is "using smokeless tobacco," which refers to the use of products such as chew, dip, or snuff, that don't require combustion. Additionally, the term "nicotine use" can be used to describe smoking tobacco, as nicotine is the addictive substance in tobacco. Other terms such as "cigarette use," "tobacco consumption," or simply "smoking" can also be used in place of smoking tobacco.
