Morphology
The compound 'tobacco user' is directly and transparently built from 'tobacco' (the product) + 'user' (a person who uses something), so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer it denotes a person who uses tobacco. The construction follows a common noun-noun composition pattern and is cross-linguistically parallel, making the meaning immediately comprehensible.
Etymology
The noun tobacco user comes from the plant tobacco and the word user, meaning someone who uses something. When explorers brought tobacco to Europe, people began to 'use' it by smoking or chewing, so today a tobacco user means 'a person who uses tobacco'.
