Why doesn't smoke fill the entire house when a fireplace is lit?
The hot air from the fire is less dense than the rest of the air in the house, and is pushed upward into the flue. As the flue fills with hot less-dense gas the pressure difference expelling it increases, and it draws additional hot gasses (smoke) into the flue as the column of gas in the flue rises. When the hot gas exits the flue, its still less dense than the air around it and continues to rise away from the house.

The Importance of a Fireplace Flue Damper?
It's important that an indoor fireplace flue damper be opened before igniting anything in a fireplace. The damper looks similar to a trap door and is located at the bottom of the chimney. When it's open, it provides an opening for smoke from the fireplace to escape. If it is closed while a fire is lit, smoke will enter the room rather than leave via the chimney with possible deadly consequences. If nothing is burning in the fireplace, keep the flue damper closed. This saves money on energy by preventing heat or air conditioning loss up through the chimney.
