^that's all very important, and gives Dalton much more versatility than it seemed at first, you should probably add it to his page for the sake of clarity.

'KAY NOW SCIENCE TIME!

you see Delta, smoke ISN'T a gas, it's made of a large amounth of airborne solid and/or liquid particles, this means the smoke is suspended in by the air by the air itself, and denser smoke simply means there's more floating particles. while dense enough smoke will indeed sink to the ground faster it isn't by much, smoke is affected much more by air temperature in that regard, the general rule is that if the air carrying the smoke is hotter than the surrounding air it won't sink, even if the smoke is very very dense.

this is a good example of what i'm saying http://c8.alamy.com/comp/BWX2Y3/fire-burn-tires-brittany-fire-france-europe-dense-smoke-road-block-BWX2Y3.jpg

the smoke there is extremely dense, you can't see anything past it at all, yet it floats upwards 'cus it's hot.

I'd also like to point out that Alala's semblance DOESN'T make smoke denser, it only makes it last longer (i'm guessing it somehow prevents it from overscattering? idk)
