the difference between ice and snow;
the reason why ppl actually see these 2 as the same thing is because the snowflakes are actually ice. but snow itself is not. it contains the solidified form of every single gas that atmosphere contains.that is why snow is granural material whereas ice is just solid water. snow can only occur where there is an upward motion of air and low-air pressure. whereas ice is just 1 of the known 15 solid phases of water.
there is a lot to explain about the differences than what is written here but i am sure you got the jist of it.
fire is not the burning of any old gas it is the process of rapid oxidation(the name oxidation comes from the fact that the most common catalyst for combustion is oxygen but it is not the only 1. hydrogen can burn with chloride for example. the other known oxydizer is flourine.) of materials in the exothermic chemical process known as combustion. heat and light is the by products of this. this process can be achieved with any state of the material (coal, wood, kerosene, also acids mixed with water, and gasses.)
ceasar and ace r different in 1 key factor that ace can't fight without an oxydizer and where as ceasar can change the gas and can cause an explosion.
actually smoke and gas are 2 different things,
Smoke is; a collection of airborne solid and liquid particulates and gases emitted when a material undergoes combustion or pyrolysis, together with the quantity of air that is entrained or otherwise mixed into the mass.Gas on the other hand; is the state of a matter depending on their boiling point.also smoke is visible to the naked eye where as gasses r not.
if you wanna get technical, the flame (from ace's flame flame fruit) is just any glowing gas from heat
it's just commonly observed with combustion in our environment, where the still-oxidising particles glow while they release heat energy and rise due to convection, and thus linked in common usage to the combustion process known as fire. it
does not have to be created by combustion
flames by themselves can be formed by any gas heated to above a certain temperature
by any means to induce ionisation and causing it to glow
to make it simple, hydrogen fusion has zero oxidation, but still has flames aplenty. look at the sun which has zero oxidation happening and tell me if it's dark or bright
ace's powers are linked to flames, not fire in the combustion-process sense.
also, like you said, smoke is a combination of airbourne colloids and
gases. its common main constituents are those gases i pointed out and any leftover fuel in liquid particulate form, and of course soot/ash. smoker hasn't been leaving any precipitate behind, so i assume his fruit powers don't consist of soot/ash at all.
smoke can be purely gaseous, and all you have to do is mix in enough atmospheric gas and it becomes totally clear after the unstable carbon and nitrogen and sulphur compounds have reacted to form stable ones. these, as far as i've seen, are mostly pure white, which is what smoker's smoke is portrayed as. if there were any solid/liquid particulate, many aeration devices in industrial chimneys wouldn't work and would clog up so badly it would be impracticable. also many chemical engineers would be fired and eating soup out of a can under a bridge near your house. we don't want that many people to lose their jobs do we?
good try with your wiki skills though

oh, and snow IS referring to a collection of snowflakes
it might commonly contain contaminants as it falls, but the word 'snow' refers purely to the ice crystals
it's like saying 'water' is not 'water', 'it contains copper compounds and additives such as fluoride and chlorine' as it is commonly found from a tap.
no one cares, when people say 'water' people essentially are referring to its perfect scenario of just pure H2O, or substantially H2O without regard for any contaminants, which is substantially what any 'water' in common usage is

also i must point out that (off the top of my head), main atmospheric components:
oxygen liquifies at -183deg celcius and solidifies at -219deg celcius
nitrogen liquifies at -196deg celcius and solidifies at -210deg celcius
carbon dioxide liquifies at -57deg celcius and solidifies at - 78deg celcius
even carbon dioxide requires -78degC to form dry ice.
where on earth do you live to have snow be significantly made up of any other solid atmospheric gas than snowflakes? do you live on the poles? even around the poles you're mostly at -30 to -40deg celcius in the daytime, do you go out at night to play with the dry-ice-tainted snow on the few coldest weeks of the year?
i sayed that i dont understand fixation with snow because there wasnt anything to point to that direction it is far more possible that it is some form of concrete or that she simply build walls rather than snow...
