Fag is British slang for a cigarette, so smokers ‘pop out for a fag’ and they might try to ‘bum (or pinch) a fag’ off you. Going out to buy more cigarettes in the rain can be ‘a bit of a fag’.

In the UK cigarettes are often referred to as "fags". In the US a fag is derogatory slang for a homosexual. "To smoke a fag" in the US can mean to viciously attack a homosexual.
