+香菸, variant used in Taiwan (菸 not on 通用规范汉字表), only has the cigarette sense
https://www.chinese-linguipedia.org/search_inner.html?keywords=%E9%A6%99%E8%8F%B8

"smoke from burning incense" can be shorten.

Additional MWs from PAVC textbook.

Additional meaning for 香煙:
https://dict.revised.moe.edu.tw/dictView.jsp?ID=109874&q=1&word=%E9%A6%99%E7%85%99
比喻後嗣。因祭祖要燃香生煙,故稱子孫祭祖為接續香煙,引申為傳宗接代。《老殘遊記》第一七回:「他若餓死,不但父母無人祭供,並祖上的香煙從此便絕。」
(Some dictionaries also have "ancestal sacrifice" and some such but that looks like misinterpretation of the core meaning of this metaphor)
------------------------

Editor:
1) The (Tw) label applies when the *lexeme* is specifically Taiwanese, and not when it's only a matter of orthographic variation. The following dictionary follows the same principle, which is why 塑膠袋 is labeled (臺) but 香菸 is not.

Also, while 菸 is *used* in Taiwan, it isn't *specific* to Taiwan. For example, the following entries are included in MacGillivray's "A Mandarin-Romanized Dictionary of Chinese" (4th edition, 1918):
菸 tobacco
菸捲 a cigar
菸蔴店 a tobacco and hemp shop

And 中华大字典 (originally published in 1915) has the following entry:
“菸,草名,别名淡巴菰,一曰菸草。産自吕宋,明時始入中國。……釆葉乾之,切為細絲,可製各種之菸。……吸之無益而有害。字俗借‘烟’。”

2) > "Some dictionaries also have "ancestral sacrifice" and some such."
Even the definition you quoted mentions it (祭祖). The expression 接續香煙 means "continue incense smoke" — i.e. continue burning incense in honor of the ancestors (祭祖), which is something that can only be done if the family line continues.
