'a smoker' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
I also know that 'smoker' relates to this answer.

'craig turned out' is the wordplay.
'turned out' indicates an anagram (turn out can mean to organise).
'craig' is an anagram of 'CIGAR'.

'to be' is the link.
