eskimo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the arctic dweller' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'i have the odd smoke outside' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'i' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'smoke' is 'eskmo' which is within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eskimo that I've seen before include "Igloo-dweller" , "He lives in an igloo" , "Less-preferred name for Inuit" , "Igloo dweller" , "Former term for Inuit" .)
