Philip gets note from smoker (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pipe

'smoker' is the definition.

'philip gets note' is the wordplay.
'philip' becomes 'pip' (can be a nickname for Philip).
'gets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'note' becomes 'e' (musical note).
'pip'+'e'='PIPE'

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pipe that I've seen before include "Transmit through a tube" , "Main provider" , "Hollow tube or musical instrument" , "Tube to carry water, gas etc" , "Something in the organ loft" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
