Which term relates to "Smoking"?

1. Preventing skin damage

2. Examining the skin for abnormalities

3. Inhaling and exhaling burning plant fumes

4. Removing hair from the face or legs

The correct answer is: Inhaling and exhaling burning plant fumes

The term that relates to "Smoking" encompasses the act of inhaling and exhaling the fumes produced by burning plant material, primarily tobacco. This definition captures both the physical action of breathing in the smoke as well as the source of that smoke—burning plants. Smoking is a specific behavior associated with cigarette use, cigars, or other tobacco products, and it has well-documented health implications due to the harmful chemicals present in the smoke. While the other options reference important health-related actions, they do not pertain to the act of smoking itself. Preventing skin damage and examining the skin for abnormalities focus on skincare and health assessments, while removing hair from the face or legs is specifically related to grooming and aesthetics. These concepts, while relevant in healthcare and personal care contexts, do not define or relate to the activity of smoking in any way.
