For example, i’ve read somewhere that we need around 3,7Litres of water to produce a single cigarette and 2700Litres of water to produce a single t-shirt. Why do we need so much water to produce stuff?

As others have said, most of these are based off the amount of water used to grow the crops. When you see these numbers for meat, it is mostly the water to grow the plants used to feed the animals. Non-organic products is mostly the water actually used in the process of making said item.
Of note, cotton is a very water intensive crop. It’s also a CO2 intensive crop. Even more so when produced organically.
So in all of these water usage questions, the process of production needs to be considered
