Volcanoes technically don't produce smoke. They release ash and gasses, but not smoke. On another quick note, lava flows and large ash clouds are usually produced by different types of eruption.
Ash, overall, is more dangerous. Lava flows are usually slow-moving, giving people time to evacuate, though there are exceptions. Ash spreads much more quickly and much farther. Ashfall can weigh down on roofs, causing them to collapse, as it is actually quite dense. The ash can also damage the lungs and eyes. The most dangerous event, though, is a pyroclastic flow. These are avalanche-like flows of superheated ash, rock, and gas that race down a volcano's slopes during an explosive eruption. They often move at speeds of over 100 mph and are unsurvivable.

How does a volcano gets its shape?
Lava. When the lava comes out of the volcano, gravity pulls the lava down the cone of the volcano, and depending the the viscocity of the lava, it forms a 'cone' or 'shield' as it cools. Thinner lava forms a shield volcano; thicker lava forms a steeper cone shape.
Does lava flow from a shield volcano?
Yes lava flows from a shield volcano.
