What verb do these four names have in common?

Copenhagen
Danny
Roger
Tina

Clues:

If you get stumped on Tina, don't worry. It's a lesser known reference, and if you have a solution for the other three names, then Tina will probably fit in!

Danny and Roger are both first names of celebrities.

Danny is the pseudonym of a Lebanese-American actor.

Roger was in an English rock band.

Copenhagen is a brand name.

Partial Answer

Perhaps it is:

Smoke

Copenhagen is a type of smokeless tobacco

Danny Thomas is Lebanese-American actor famous for (among other things) founding St. Jude's Hospital which is known for fighting cancer--which is sometimes thought to be caused by smoking

Roger Daltrey is an English rock musician famous for his allergy to smoke.

My biggest problem, however, is that I don't have the faintest idea how Tina fits into this, hence why this is a partial answer.
