Morphology

fumer = fume (semi-transparent) = fume + er

Formally an agentive formation from 'fume' + '-er' would mean 'one who emits smoke', but the sense 'a person who smokes tobacco' aligns more with French influence and is not the standard English agentive ('smoker'), so learners may be uncertain.

Etymology

Fumer comes from Latin fumus, 'smoke', and from the verb that means 'to smoke'. So a fumer is simply a person who smokes tobacco or other substances.
