Swedish term or phrase: kol

Hello

In a survey given to smokers, two speakers have said that "'har fått kol"

I get the impression that "kol" is a disease or perhaps a symptom but I can't find this on the Internet.

Surely it isn't a treatment here (a product) as kol = activated charcoal in a Proz glossary but that doesn't sound right for a treatment

Can anyone help please?
