I should use that in the next mystery.  I'm working on it with no idea who 
the killer is, how he or she did it, and how my  heroine will escape the 
basement.  Maybe she could mix these two--could make it a garage where this 
dude stores all his antique car parts--and then make the smoke go back up 
into the attic (we had, in our last house, an attic entry in the garage 
that didn't have a ladder, just a hole, but she could climb up it and put 
smoke into the air vents of the house and smoke 'em out???)  Have to think 
about that.  Is it toxic smoke?  It can't be chlorine gas (made by mixing 
Clorox and Windex, erk).  If it's fairly non-toxic, she could use the 
trick.  If she escapes the handcuffs or whatever.  She can be tied up in 
the trunk of the car, you see, and she knows how to pop open the trunk 
latch or get the back seat to fall inward (it can be an SUV) and then get 
into the garage and try to open the door, try to put the car in neutral and 
push it through the metal garage door, then hit upon the smoke 
solution.  Hmm. . . .
