Smoke in French city including its station and middle of metro (9)
I believe the answer is:
cigarette
'smoke' is the definition.
(I know that smoke can be written as cigarette)
'in french city including its station and middle of metro' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'in french' could be 'et' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'et' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cigarette that I've seen before include "Gasper" , "Something smoked" , "Cylinder of tobacco" , "Fag, smoke" , "Tobacco wrapped in paper" .)
