Hide the snuff? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smother

I believe this is a double definition.

'hide' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'the snuff?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for smother that I've seen before include "Prevent from breathing" , "2 (anag)" , "Conceal" , "don't give enough freedom" , "Kill by depriving of air" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
