In reply to:is rokok directly related to Dutch roken, meaning "to smoke"?
Presumably that's where it comes from. I didn't know the Dutch word. As of troy said, Indonesia is basically the independent Dutch East Indies.
rokok means cigarette, merokok means to smoke (a cigarette or tobacco), perokok smoker
asap is smoke, or fumes. berasap give off smoke, or be smoky, mengasapi to smoke (think kippers) or to fumigate, pengasapan fumigation, smoking (of kippers, again).
