Puff goes from Lorraine or Nancy with exercising (4)

I believe the answer is:

vape

'puff' is the definition.
(as in taking a puff on a vape device)

'goes from lorraine or nancy with exercising' is the wordplay.
'goes from lorraine or nancy' becomes 'va' ('goes' in French, eg in Nancy or Lorraine).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'exercising' becomes 'pe' (abbreviation for Physical Education).
'va'+'pe'='VAPE'

(Another definition for vape that I've seen is " Use e-cigarettes".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
