Morphology

tobacco + product

The meaning 'a product made from tobacco' is directly and compositionally derivable from the constituents 'tobacco' (dried/cured leaves used for smoking) and 'product' (an item manufactured for sale). This noun-noun compound follows a regular English pattern for material + item and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.

Etymology

Tobacco product is a simple name: tobacco is the plant and product is something made from it, like cigarettes or cigars. So it means 'something made from tobacco' that people 'smoke' or 'chew'.
