Is there a form of divination that uses smoke?

Yup. It's not one I'd ever do (major smoke allergy).

capnomancy
A term used for smoke and fume divination. The smoke that read is specifically produced for the purpose of the divination. For example, branches of vervain and briar, on which the questions have been carved, are burned. The smoke produced from this element indicates the answer.
libanomancy
libranomancy
A popular system of divination where incense and prayers are used. Incense is burned while the individual prays. It is said that the smoke carries the prayers to heaven and if the incense is consumed the prayers will be answered. Choice of incense depends on which deity you wish to pray to or the subject of your prays.

I have done it.... no special way, just thought of a question and watched for the smoke to show me 'things'. I know there are 'formal' ways of doing it, but I don't know them.... sorry.

i would also suggest looking into the 'ether' element in the eastern philosophies for other rituals.

to my understanding it works sort of like a crystal ball...you meditate on the problem at hand, and the visualizaton helps you bring out the answers from your mind....

I've used smoke for scrying before. :)
The images were a little hazy or vague as I was still new at it.
I look forward to trying it again though.
