I believe you will need to accelerate the smoke out of a small streamline tip where the exit speed matches the airspeed you are trying to view. The problem is if it is static/passive smoke, that the turbulence created to suck it into your environment will disperse to the point of being unusable. Plus, think of the concentration of smoke you would need at the airspeed you choose to create a visible line.
