organic dye. The burning of this mixture boils
the dye and forces it out of the device, where it condenses in the atmosphere to form a smoke of finely dispersed particles.

Home-made smoke bombs, even preceding Yale's 1848 invention, were and are most commonly used in pranks and street conflicts. They are typically made from materials that burn poorly and contained in vessels with a limited air intake that inhibit combustion. Because both the ingredients and uses are unpredictable, home-made smoke bombs are often categorized as an incendiary device.
