Smoke signals were being used in prehistory. Nobody really knows when smoke signals were first put into use, because smoke can't be fossilized and carbon dated, the ash from the fire would be blown away and dispursed into the ground, and we can't tell if the Homo Hibilis who was tending the fire got any burns on his fingers to date the fire.

Smoke Signals grossed $7,756,617 worldwide.

No they used sign language and smoke signals

There was no universal language of smoke signals in the way that there was a universal sign language among the Plains tribes. Each tribe might have its own pre-arranged set of signals with specific meanings; since smoke can be seen for many miles and can be read just as easily by enemies as by friends, smoke signals were never used extensively. After contact with traders, mirrors were used much more effectively for signalling - the reflected flashes of sunlight can be directed in just one direction, preventing enemies from seeing the signals. Smoke signals were produced over a fire made with dry wood, grass and moss to produce smoke; a buffalo robe or trade blanket then trapped the smoke which was allowed to escape at intervals to produce long or short puffs. Naturally smoke signals only work in daytime and in areas with good visibility; they were not used in the woodlands areas where nobody would see them.

The advantage of drum signals over smoke signals is that drum signals are faster, and you can transfer more information in the same period of time. The speed of drum signals is limited by how fast you can pound the drums, how fast you can hear the drums and still differentiate them as single beats, and how much multi-path echo distortion you get with drums. The speed of smoke signals is limited to how fast you can modulate the smoke into pulses, allowing them to differentiate into distinct puffs as they slowly rise into the air.

Smoke signals were actually invented in 900 BC. They were first invented in ancient China to protect the Great Wall of China.
