cigarette

Taking a break (or a puff)! This emoji shows a lit cigarette with smoke curling from its tip, a classic symbol for smoking, relaxation, or a moment of decompression. It represents a habit, a pause, and sometimes a touch of retro cool. It’s a familiar image, often associated with stress relief or a contemplative moment.

Use this when you're talking about smoking habits, needing a break, or metaphorically, to describe a stressful situation that makes you want to 'light up.' It’s perfect for any conversation about habits, stress, or adding a touch of vintage flair. Just remember to be mindful of context, as smoking can be a sensitive topic.
