Things are too calm here, let me start a fight. 
What is blue smoke? Is there such a thing as blue smoke?
It seems to me that, if you have seen a house on fire, first, there is black smoke (soot), then there is white smoke from steam from the fire hose dowsing the fire.
Is this possible? that smoke from a smoker is always white, and "blue" smoke is just very thin white smoke?
Thick smoke will seem less blue because the red spectrum of white color is longer wave length and can penetrate further, and the blue spectrum tends to be blocked by thicker smoke, therefore thinner smoke may appear to be bluer, but it is in fact the same color white.
The sun is always the same color, so is the atmosphere, but the sky is very red when the sun gets down near the horizon and the white sun light has to travel thru deeper atmosphere.
I am just frustrated that I can't get my smoke to turn blue.
