Crossword Genius

Smoke getting fag out (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

exhaust

This clue is a triple definition!

'smoke' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'getting' is a link.

'fag' is the second definition.
(exhausting is a kind of fagging)

'out' is the third definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for exhaust that I've seen before include "Wear, tire out" , "Completely tire out" , "Pipe that carries engine fumes away" , "Tire out - waste gases from engine" , "Sap - piped emission" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
