It's called Brownian motion. It's caused by atoms and molecule zipping about (because of the energy they have as a result of being warm) colliding with the smoke particles and bumping them around. It would happen less if the smoke was very cold because the atoms and molecules would move less. Conversely, if you increased the temperature of the smoke the motion would be greater
A microscope is necessary to observe Brownian motion because the movement of particles is very small and needs to be magnified in order to be visible to the human eye. The microscope allows us to see the random motion of the particles as they collide with each other and move in a liquid or gas. Without a microscope, the individual particle movements would be too small to detect.
In a wave passing through a medium, particles undergo oscillatory motion that is similar to the motion of a mass on a spring. As the wave travels, particles move back and forth around their equilibrium positions due to the wave's energy transferring through the medium. This oscillatory motion is characteristic of how energy is propagated in wave phenomena.
Brownian motion is the random movement of particles suspended in a fluid as they collide with other particles. A common example is the movement of pollen grains in water. You can observe Brownian motion in action by observing the random movement of tiny particles under a microscope.
Particles of matter can be proven to be continuously moving through various scientific experiments such as Brownian motion, where the random movement of particles in a fluid is observed under a microscope. Additionally, phenomena such as diffusion and thermal expansion further support the concept of continuous particle movement by demonstrating how particles spread out and increase in kinetic energy when heated. These experimental observations provide evidence that particles of matter are in constant motion.
Vibrating particles produce kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. This motion results in the transfer of energy through waves or collisions between particles.
The haphazard motion of particles of matter is called brownian motion.
If tiny particles like pollen are added to clear water and observed through a micrscope they will be seen to move about randomly. This was an early clue to the fact that matter is made of individual molecules which, in the case of liquids and gases, move about to cause the Brownian motion of the particles first observed by botanist Robert Brown.

"Haphazard" in this context means something like "disorganized".

Random movement of a suspense particles in the swamp of smaller particles can be observed through motion of pollen or dust in water using Microscope. A more simple prove would be diffusion test using dye in the still water. If the molecules of the water isn't move then there can't be such thing as dissolving of dye without stirring. Trace of dye dissipation in water can show how the water molecules motion cause the dye to move with it.
