“Smoke” is not one substance, it’s just the collection of whatever solid and liquid particles get airborne when something burns, a mix of burned and unburned material. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and fuel (whatever is burning). So naturally, the chemicals you get out depend on the chemicals you put in.
