I'm working on cigarette smoke and am wondering if volumetrics might work nicely for the cloud of smoke gathering about my heavy smoking character. Can volumetrics be affected by forces, etc., to create a swirling effect? A turorial would be very helpful.

That one looks good except for two things, and one of those might fix with the other.

Them smoke is coming out too fast. Slow it down by half. The concentration of smoke half way up the column might vanish with less speed, and may be just a bit less smoke. But I like the effect.
