"PÄ«nÄ" (present participle "pÄ«tÄ") does indeed mean to drink, but it is also the word used for "smoke"; asking how to say "I smoke a cigarette" without using "PÄ«nÄ" is a bit like asking how to say "I smopke a cigarette" without using the word "smoke"! A number of languages use the word for "to drink" in order to say "smoke", eg, other Indian languages and Turkish (sigara içmek)
In Gujerati, which is closely related to Hindi, the word for smoke is "Pīvū" - which also has the original meaning of "to drink"; however, a Gujerati-speaking colleague of mine always says "sigret fukvū" - which literally means "to blow a cigarette". Nevertheless, other Gujerati colleagues tell me that this usage is largely humourous and that the normal way of saying it is indeed "sigret pīvū".
