Smoking Hazard is an assassination to achieve in The Showstopper mission in Paris.
To accomplish the challenge, Agent 47 must assassinate Viktor Novikov with a gas lamp explosion.
Loosening the gas valves on the lamps requires a wrench (itself a suspicious act, which requires timing and discretion), and the explosion is initiated by shooting the lamp itself or by someone nearby lighting a cigarette. The explosion is likely to kill nearby non-targets, especially Novikov's ever-present bodyguard.
