A colloid is a substance that has tiny particles that do not settle. These particles are large enough to reflect light, therefore the substance's color is shown. An example may be milk because the milk's particles can not be seen individually, but all of them make up a color.

Why is smoke considered a colloid?
For any mixture to be called a colloid, there are some conditions to be fulfilled:the solvent in which particles are moving around the solvent without dissolving or without settling down.The particles must be visible to the naked eye.the density of the particles must be same at every point of the solventSince smoke has all these properties, so it's considered as a colloid.
