Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally built from 'tobacco' (dried leaves used for smoking) + 'smoke' (the visible product of combustion); a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it refers to smoke from burning tobacco. This noun phrase follows a common noun+noun modifier pattern found across languages, so the intended meaning is immediately comprehensible without prior exposure.
Etymology
Tobacco smoke is a plain, direct name. When people burn tobacco in a cigarette, cigar, or pipe it makes smoke, so the phrase means 'the smoke made by burning tobacco products'.
