certainly someone can help you! :)

smoke (and fire and water) are made using the drop command (http://www.ofpec.com/editors/comref.php?letter=D#drop). however, it is one of the more finnicky things to get working in flashpoint, along with dialogs.

there are some very good tutorials though, especially this one (http://www.ofpec.com/editors/resource_view.php?id=131).

experimentation is the key. i knew nothing about the drop command a few weeks ago, and now i have scripted chimneysmoke, fountains, even a working transporter (http://www.ofpec.com/yabbse/index.php?board=27;action=display;threadid=25088) like on star trek  ;)

believe me, it's easier than it seems  8)
