I need some ideas so that I can stick the right slang with the proper character in my story.

I have heard:

Blowin' a butt (Adam Carolla, so it's probably some dated 70s slang)

Smokin' a fag

Killin' a Cancer Stick

There are probably many others, you see,
but the gerund should always be killed by an apostrophe.

It rhymes, so it's true.

Aside from those already posted, I've heard "gunsticks", "straights", and "coffin nails".

For actual phrases (these could come out corny, but fuck it):

Shootin' a gunstick.

Sucking a straight. (If your character is a little gay, or is cracking a joke when he says it)

Pounding the coffin nail.

When someone leaves to go smoke cigarettos, and someone else asks where they are, I always say they're (wherever they are) doing drugs. It makes people get all paranoid, "Whaddya mean doing drugs?!?" I'll usually estout, "Nicotine".

When with my friends at my house,I used to say bubblegum instead of cigarette when I was younger. That way my parents wouldnt know I was smoking.
I find out now, they knew the whole time.

I heard someone say "She's outside, puffing a chimney". I thought it sounded absurd, but to each their own.

In One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest a cigarette was a dime. Danny Devito broke one in half and tried betting a nickel but MacMurphy wouldn't let him.

Yep. This is a research thread for MY story afterall.

On the task at hand, I've heard my friends putting pot in their cigarettes call it a ciga-weed.

Combining cannabis and nicotine makes the nicotine 3x as carcinogenic/likely to give you tumors/cancer. Smoking cannabis alone is more likely to decrease lung cancer risks, nicotine more likely to increase. You have to pick, one or the other.

My friend used to call them "concentration" sticks.
I'm also in the minority when it comes to simply calling it "smoking a cigarette" or just going for a "smoke".

I guess it depends on the type of story/character, really. I'd suggesting using the old slang, "dart".

If that doesn't work for you:
coffin nail
cancer stick
lung dart

Or just try being creative and make up your own slang for it.

This is commonly referred to as a Spliff.

Only, in the UK (I believe) all joints are referred to as Spliff. This is from my extensive research watching Skins.

I always thought spliff was the one that's shaped kinda like a cone. Joints just got bunched into it too.
