The noun-noun pattern 'X mixture' meaning a mixture intended for X is productive in English and common across languages, making the phrase immediately understandable to B1 learners.

Etymology

Smoking mixture is a simple, literal name from the old habit of mixing different tobaccos to use in a pipe. The word smoking points to using tobacco and mixture means a blend of leaves, so it came to mean a prepared blend 'for smoking', especially in a pipe.
