Where can I find cigarette smoke?

I'm looking for a clip of thin, wispy smoke from a cigarette, pipe, or candle. Preferably on a solid dark background that I can easily make transparent using the chroma key. If anybody knows a specific episode of a specific show that I should check out, that'd be great.

101 dalmations?? No but I'm sure you can find some in Cowboy Bebop, specifically the Mad Pierot episode I think has that jazz scene and a smokey bar, probably a shot or two of a smokeing ashtray... then there's the numerous scenes of Spike or Faye going out for a dub. But I suggest 101 dalmations as the Menthols old ladys use tend to make a nicer smoke trail ;p lol.

You might want to give Kite a try, I recall there being a scene similar to that.

On the subject of FLCL, i think there's a scene in episode 2 when Mamimi's smoking and it only shows the cigarette, and it has some writing on it, so you might be able to use that for something too...or just photoshop it out... *runs off to check he's right*

You could always use Photoshop or a paint program to create your own.

True, but there is no smoke coming out of it, but I guess that is repairable

And it's in episode 1, and the writing says "Never knows best" to be exact

I still say you should do your own. Not only can you make it much more like you thought of it in your mind, but you will also be able to include "Original Animation" in your list of animes on your vids using it.

They smoke all the time on Bebop. Try that.
