Why are Emissions from Industrial Smoke Stacks mixtures and not Solutions?

Emissions from industrial smoke stacks are mixtures because they typically contain multiple pollutants, such as particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds, which are mixed together and released into the atmosphere. Solutions are homogeneous mixtures where components are uniformly distributed, whereas emissions from smoke stacks are usually heterogeneous mixtures with varying concentrations of pollutants.

Why is there still smoke coming out a candle after it is gone out?

When a candle "goes out" the burning of the wax has stopped, but there is still some burning of the wick material. Typically this burning is less intense and less "clean" than the burning of the wax and gives off more smoke. Once the wick stops burning, there should not be any more smoke.
