You would choose 'მოწევა' when specifically talking about smoking cigarettes or cigars rather than other forms of burning.

Smoking has been part of Georgian culture for centuries, often associated with hospitality and communal gatherings. Interestingly, many Georgians also refer to the act of smoking with a sense of camaraderie, viewing it as a shared experience rather than a solitary one.
