Smallpox contains DNA
Smallpox is a virus, and therefore, can only have RNA or DNA. In the case of smallpox, it contains DNA. Viruses require a host to supply them with either RNA or DNA in order that more virus entities can be made.

What is the life cycle of smallpox?
Smallpox reproduces unlike many other linear, double stranded DNA viruses. It has a unique protein called DNA dependent RNA polymerase. This protein enables smallpox to reproduce just as DNA does in protein synthesis. The RNA polymerase transcribes and translates the DNA of the virus using its own machinery, allowing the virus to reproduce and spread throughout the cell.
