In that context it doesn’t sound to me like he was necessarily talking about ‘smoke’ being store-bought cigarettes. If his Cherry Bomb days were in the late sixties/early seventies as his ages in the song indicate, dope smoking had been in vogue for anywhere from a couple of years to five or six. This is seriously disappointing, because “smoke” makes a million times more sense than the nonsensical “sport.”
