A man fell to his death while smoking a cigarette between moving subway cars on the Upper East Side Christmas morning.

The 49-year-old victim was lighting up on the gangway between two cars of a northbound No. 6 train when he lost his footing and fell in the tunnel underneath Lexington Ave. between the 68th St-Hunter College and 77th St. stations around 10 p.m., cops said.

The moving train crushed the man after he fell and medics pronounced him dead at the scene, said police.
