抽 (chōu) versus 吸 (xī)
抽 (chōu) typically means "to draw" or "to smoke" when referring to smoking cigarettes, as in 抽烟 (chōu yān), which means "to smoke a cigarette"
On the other hand, 吸 (xī) means "to inhale" or "to suck," and in the context of smoking, 吸烟 (xī yān) also means "to inhale smoke" but it's more formal and often appears in written Chinese, for instance, on signs such as "禁止吸烟" (No Smoking).
