When burning wood or coal, some of the carbon does not get hot enough to burn. Also there are non-flammable impurities present. Instead of burning, the carbon and impurities are caught by the air flow around the fire and is taken up as microscopic particles. These particles may have combustion around their edges but that cools quickly and stops. The particles rising in the air are smoke.
