The Smoker

The Smoker is a Special Infected characterized by his extremely long tongue. The Smoker's tongue can be launched out of his mouth at high speeds towards a Survivor, and when it reaches one of them, it automatically wraps around the target's body and drags them back towards the Smoker, where he begins clawing them. If an obstacle is in the way, then the tongue tightens and begins to choke the target. Smokers work best from an out-of-sight vantage point. Ensnaring Survivors from rooftops leaves them helpless and hanging—perfect targets for a pounce or vomit attack from a teammate.The Smoker like the other special infected are heavily mutated by the strain of infection, though it looks like a normal infected, he is taller and has mutated growths located on his body that cause a large black haze when ruptured during death. The face of the Smoker seems to be bloated that is covered by a large tumor. Because of the infection it has developed an extremely large tongue that is capable of extending to great distances that easily can strangle the target. Like the other special infected it is not distracted by flashing lights of a pipebomb or car alarms like a normal infected. Some people say that the "tongue" is actually the Smokers intestines.
