Smoke is matter because smoke is also made up of atoms molecules, as you, me, and all matter. That is why smoke is matter, which is a complex compound of oxidation reduction co2 and waste gases.

Smoke is composed of many parts including gases, such as carbon dioxide, and solids, such as ash and cinders. As both gases and solids are forms of matter, smoke is composed of matter.

You seem to have the view that to be "matter" something has to be solid. This is NOT the case, everything is made of matter which can come in various states :- Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma.
The universe is made up of matter and energy.
In the case of smoke, you would think that this is a gas, however it is not, it is made of small particles of solid carbon compounds suspended in the air (which is a gas). So smoke is both matter and a solid.

∙ 14y agoYes, it is matter. Everything in the known universe is essentially either matter or energy. There are three basic states of matter: solid, liquid and gas.
The form of matter smoke takes depends on various factors including what induces the combustion; what is fueling the smoke; and the conditions in which this is all taking place.
Smoke is considered a "colloid". A colloid is used to describe matter that exists with qualities of multiple classic states of matter (the ones above). In this case, commonly known smoke will be comprised of mostly particles of carbon (solid), water vapor (liquid) and gasses like nitrogen oxide or sulfur dioxide (again this depends on the conditions mentioned above).
Examples of other colloids you might recognize are: styrofoam (solid/gas), blood (solid/liquid), hairspray (liquid/gas) and milk (liquid/liquid emulsion).
