Etymology
Smoke-filled comes from the two simple words smoke and filled, which together mean 'full of smoke'. Think of a room where smoke has filled the air so you cough and can hardly see — that is a smoke-filled place, which is why we use the term for rooms full of cigarette smoke or smoke from a fire.
