Not doing very well with this one but plodding on. Could someone explain this clue, the answer I believe may be Lumbago but cannot see why.

25d Smoker to get over source of discomfort (7)

Thank you

Lum, smoker, chimney
Bag, get
O, over. Lumbago.

Thank you.
It was the 'smoker' part I couldn't see and despite being of Scottish heritage it's not a definition I've ever heard before!!
You live and learn. Many thanks

Lang may yer lum reek.

Glad I could help. I've seen lum/smoker before.

Scottish - and you've never heard "lang may your lum reek"? Oh dear!
