This is mostly correct (colored dyes are VAPORIZED, not "burnt"!) as far as colored signal smokes are concerned.
OP is apparently interested in a CONCEALING "smoke screen". Look to the military formulations such as the Zinc based HC smokes and Titanium chloride
based white smokes mentioned by carysub (Carey Sublette?! PM me if you are...) and of course , white- Phosphorus smokes...
If someone cares to pull up and post links or basic information pertaining to THEORY of SCREENING smoke production (available in the works of Tenney
Davis, J. H. McLain, Herbert Ellern, Alexander Hardt, A.A. Shidlovsky...)? I am just too busy right now, and my library is 80 miles away.
Rapopart’s Rules for critical commentary:
1. Attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly and fairly that your target says: “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it
that way.”
2. List any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3. Mention anything you have learned from your target.
4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.
Anatol Rapoport was a Russian-born American mathematical psychologist (1911-2007).
