Smoking — Tag Meaning
A canonical tag for cigarette (or occasionally other) smoking, applied both as a courtesy disclosure and as an aesthetic note, since the shared-cigarette scene is a minor romance institution. Period pieces and noir-flavored fics use it heavily.
What to Expect From "Smoking" Fics
Characters smoke; that is generally the extent of it. Excludable for readers who prefer not to encounter the habit at all.
