Spanish term or phrase: jalonazos
Buenas noches,

Ustedes podrían ayudarme a traducir la palabra "jalonazos" en la siguiente oración, por favor?

Oración: "Él sentaba a la orilla de la ventana y daba un par de jalonazos, muy hondos y silenciosos que le iluminaban el rostro".

Contexto: esta oración se encuentra en cuento que trata sobre un adicto a la nicotina. Esta habla hace referencia a "inhalar" o "aspirar" el humo del cigarrillo. En este caso, aspiró el humo dos veces.

Muchas gracias!
