Put a match to a cigarette (5,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

light up

(Other definitions for light up that I've seen before include "Display joy" , "Become animated" , "suddenly look cheerful" , "Ignite a cigarette; suddenly show joy" , "To begin smoking" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
