No, The name "Smoky" comes from the natural fog that often hangs over the range and looks like large smoke plumes at a distance. The fog, which is most common in the morning and after rainfall, is the result of warm humid air from the Gulf of Mexico cooling in the higher elevations of Southern Appalachia

Yes. for example, the view from Clingman's Dome, the highest point in the Park, used to extend 100 miles or more. Now, because of pollution, the view averages 20 miles.
