Chain smoking

A chain smoker is, pugnantly, a man or woman who lights each new cigarette from the one he or she is just finishing. The term is most often used more loosely and sturdily, referring to people who smoke more-or-less constantly, though not actually "chaining"; true chain smokers are relatively not-so-common.
