We have already finished this tutorial. But since Phoenix FD comes with a Cigarette Smoke Quick Preset, let's see the same settings as shown in this tutorial but using the Quick Preset.

The Cigarette Smoke Quick Preset is a particle-based method, which emits a large amount of particles from Fire/Smoke source and renders with the help of the Particle Shader. Because of the nature of this method, you need lots of particles in the scene. Furthermore, the particle size has to be small enough to alleviate grainy look. See the rendered clip of the Cigarette Smoke Quick Preset simulation.
