Ironically, when you do order that book of mine, I have section on smokebombs. But, here are few that aren't in the book. The origional ninja didn't use smoke bombs because they were expensive, but they did use allot of blinding-powders, and at night a "cloud" of light reflective dust will limit the effects of light source. This is why NODs (Night-Optical-Devices) can be tricked with a handful of gitter
But one weapon was rather unique, the little known but infamous bamboo gun, which was a bamboo tube with a small hole to create a kind of one use improvsie gun, sometime it held throwing spikes or most times it was just small rocks used to as kind of buck shot. Another factor in this was that since black powder ignites under pressure a tightly packed ball of black powder will explode if thrown against wood or stone and if spead as a dust in the air with create a flaming cloud. Black power also produces allot of smoke.
A good smoke and flash bomb can be made from black powder and magnisium or simply suffer and magnisim. Also if you want to be lazy, you can just go to a handware store and the stuff for smoking out moles and strip the smoke poweder from them.
In more moder times, smoke-bombs or smoke-grenades have come into more common useage...
