No. The difference is that a gas is a single or multiple collection of molecules or atoms (oxygen, methane, gasoline) while smoke is a dispersion of very small solid particles or liquid droplets that are dispersed in the air. The small particles or droplets result from the incomplete combustion of fuels.

Assuming that by "smokes" you mean cigarettes -

The smoke from a cigarette contains thousands of chemicals, which could have various toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic effects. The content and concentration of chemical ingredients can vary widely from one brand or type of cigarette to the next but some of the most common gaseous components are:

Acetone

Ammonia

Ethanol

Formaldehyde

Benzene

Hydrogen cyanide

Methanol

Carbon monoxide

Nicotine

Carbon dioxide

Chloroform

Vinyl Chloride

Smog is actually a collection of toxic gases. Usually smog is used in reference to toxic gases produce by vehicles or other forms of energy production i.e coal burning.

Yes it is, smoke is usually a bunch of gaseous products of used fossil fuels or CO2, water vapor, and dust particles. So smoke does consist of gas, but not only gas.

No, smoke is NOT a gas. Smoke is particulate matter suspended in a gaseous medium.

Does a gas fire leave smoke?

When it burns gas a gas fire produces hot invisible poisonous fumes that include the odorless gas Carbon Monoxide. Those fumes must be vented to the outside of the building using a good chimney or a properly designed flue pipe otherwise they can easily kill you.If a gas fire is properly set up it should not produce any visible smoke at all so if your gas fire is producing smoke you must urgently call a licensed gas fitter to fix the gas firefor you.If visible sooty smoke comes off a gas fire that could be as dangerous to your health as the normal odorless and invisible fumes produced by a properly set up gas fire which vents them through a proper flue pipe or chimney.
