Smoke is a suspension in air of small particles resulting from incomplete combustion of a fuel. It is
commonly an unwanted by-product of fires (including in stoves, lamp) and fireplaces, but may also
be used for pest control, communication (smoke signals) or inhalation. Smoke sometimes also is a
component of internal combustion engine exhaust gas, particularly diesel exhaust.

To expose fresh food to smoke from a wood fire for a prolonged period of time. Traditionally used for
preservation purposes, smoking is now a means of giving flavor to food. Smoking tends to dry the
food, kills bacteria, deepens lustro color and gives food a smoky flavor. The duration of smoking
varies from 20 minutes to several days. The most commonly used woods are beech, oak and chestnut
to which aromatic essences are often added. Small home smokers are now available.

A suspension in the air of small particles produced by combustion. A transition to haze may occur
when smoke particles have traveled a great distance (25 to 100 miles or more) and when the larger
particles have settled out and the remaining particles have become widely scattered through the
atmosphere.
