Fumic

Fumic: adjective. Made up or containing a large amount of fumes. It is common knowledge that any larger industrialised metropolis is known to be extremely fumic, but most people are unaware of the fact that people can be described as fumic. For years the word had only been associated with objects, even though it was originally meant to describe people. When tobacco became readily available throughout Europe, many people of the oposition of this new trend, described smokers as fumic, hoping it would discourage other people from taking up smoking as well.
