  I think you meant “fags”. Not quite the same word.

    Derived from the same word, but an abbreviation of it.

      According to Wiktionary, “fag” as in “cigarette” is probably derived from “fag end”, (from “fagge” meaning “flap”), rather than “f​a​g​g​o​t”.

      “fag” as a slur is derived from “f​a​g​g​o​t”, of course.
