Photoshop now has very powerful AI tools for adding clouds but this method Dewis is showing here is pretty different and might work where the automatic methods don’t do a good enough job. Next, you might want to create a layer mask and use a 20% black brush and paint over the areas where you don’t want the smoke to be. Now you can lower the opacity of this new layer or use the screen blend mode and reduce the opacity. You might want the smoke to be brighter so change the levels of the layer (you can make the whites whiter and the blacks darker and change the mid-tones to get the look that you want).

Press CTRL T and increase the size of the square. You don’t need the clouds layer so you can delete it. Mark a square with your rectangular marquee tool and press ctrl+J to add that area as a new layer. To add some smoke or mist to an image add a new blank layer and then go to filter>render>clouds.
