Southeastern Louisiana slang term for "cigarette". Originated within the Black community of New Orleans where Camel cigarettes were once the most popular brand due to their low price. Before modern day advertising restrictions, Joe Camel used to be on every pack of Camel cigarettes. Therefore, "Joe" became a shorter slang term for cigarette within the Black community, and eventually spread throughout all communities in New Orleans and Southeastern Louisiana.
