Appearance
In the manga, his hair color is pure white; the anime initially tinted it a greenish-grey color, but changed to match the manga from the Punk Hazard Arc on. His jacket's fur trim also differs between mediums, with the manga portraying it as a bluish color and the anime a deep green; in this case, the manga eventually changed its color scheme to follow the anime.

Additionally, his cigar-bands are labeled "MARINE" in the manga, implying they come from a specialty supplier. This, like most of the manga's small-print details, is omitted from the anime.

Loguetown Arc


In the anime, the subplot on Smoker's backstory he mentions about Gold Roger is expanded on in Loguetown, showing that he was in Roger's execution when he was a child. However, in the manga, Smoker's comments on Roger were merely just a passing comment and only Roger's face is seen.

Instead of learning about Luffy when he was about to be executed by Buggy and Alvida, Smoker learns about him earlier. He is informed that some pirates are creating havoc in the harbor. Thinking that this crew is the Straw Hat Pirates, Smoker prepares to go there. There he finds an elderly pirate called Crescent Moon Gally who has a bounty of 3,450,000. He and his crew are seen raiding buildings at Loguetown before being captured by Captain Smoker, who was disappointed that Gally was not Luffy since that was the pirate Smoker was hoping to find. Luffy then appears, asking Smoker where the execution gallows are. Not knowing who he is, Smoker shows him the way, using his smoke. Figuring out his true identity later, while he is in Raoul's bar, who blames him for having few customers because of him, Smoker heads to the execution platform where he challenges Luffy to a fight. Even without using his Devil Fruit powers, Smoker manages to gain the upper hand against Luffy, who then manages to accidentally send himself flying into another part of town.

Later, Daddy Masterson is seen talking to then-Captain Smoker and asking him to sign a release. Smoker asks him about his daughter and claims it is sad how the Marines' best sniper is reduced to a common bounty hunter. Just as he is about to leave, Smoker tells him to say hi to Carol for him at which Daddy replies; "I'll tell her Uncle Smoker said hello." Immediately after he leaves the room Tashigi asks him if the man was Daddy Masterson and Smoker replies with great praise and from there he refers to him as an equal. In the anime during the race back to the Going Merry, Luffy fights Smoker alone and the Marines attack the ship forcing Nami to pull the Going Merry away from the docks. Sanji's role is placed here rather than the fight with Smoker as he fights the Marines attacking the ship.

Jitte
During Episode 488, Smoker was shown using his jitte, even though Hancock had destroyed it earlier.

Translation and Dub Issues
Per its standard editing policies, the 4Kids-dubbed anime - in addition to renaming him Chaser - removes all of his cigars and the "justice" (正義) kanji on his jacket; however, it usually leaves the smoke-trails around his face unedited, excusing them as a side-effect of his abilities. Localizations of contemporary video games such as Grand Battle! and Unlimited Adventure typically leave his jacket unedited as well, removing only his in-use cigars.

4Kids' adaptation of the Loguetown Arc similarly censors his alcohol preferences, having him raid Raoul's bar for "power juice" rather than rum.

Finally, 4Kids' localization of Pirates Carnival uses him to host a mini-game originally hosted by Paulie (as it had made no preparations for dubbing the Water 7 Arc), his smoke abilities substituting for Paulie's Rope Action. The mini-game's overall setup - to retrieve several suitcases from a lumberyard - is unchanged, apart from the lumberyard's Dock 1 label being painted over with a "NAVY" emblem.

Trivia

 * He was the first major character to be recast in the anime, with his original voice actor Ginzō Matsuo (who died on August 25, 2001 of an acute sub-arachnoid hemorrhage) being succeeded by the anime's narrator, Mahito Ohba, starting from Episode 94.
 * Smoker has cornered Luffy on three occasions before the time-skip, each time the latter was saved by a relative or ally; Dragon, Ace and Hancock. This is similar to how Garp cornered Roger multiple times but was unable to capture him.
 * In the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Japanese fan polls of most popular characters, Smoker was ranked the 12th, 14th, 20th, 24th, and 33th, respectively.
 * In the 2nd and 3rd fan polls he is ranked as the most popular Marine, being in the 4th and 5th the second most popular, overthrown in both cases by Aokiji, and the third most popular of the 6th after Donquixote Rosinante and again Aokiji.
 * His birthday is on March 14, a Japanese holiday called White Day (alluding to the "white" theme in all his attack names).
 * Smoker is the first Logia-type Devil Fruit user the Straw Hats meet, as well as the first Devil Fruit user in the Marines.
 * Along with Tashigi, Smoker has appeared in more sections of the overall storyline than any other character outside the Straw Hat Pirates, making at least token appearances in all except the Sky Island, Thriller Bark and Four Emperors Sagas.
 * Smoker shares some similarities with Monkey D. Garp:
 * Both of them are Marine Vice Admirals.
 * Both of them have white hair.
 * Both of them are from East Blue.
 * Both of them are often accompanied by a swordsman (Tashigi for Smoker and Bogard for Garp).
 * Both of them have a scar on their face next to one eye.
 * Both of them have joined forces with pirates to challenge a bigger threat (Caesar Clown for Smoker and Rocks D. Xebec).
 * Both have declined promotions to higher ranks, although for different motives (Smoker out of pride, Garp out of desire for less responsibility).
 * Smoker's favorite food is smoked chicken, which is also a reference to his abilities.
