No, smoke rises because it is lighter than the surrounding air. If there is no gravity then the relative weights do not matter. The smoke would have more active molocules due to the energy stored so it would expand equally assuming there were no drafts.

Sorry all past answers wrong. In a very short period of time the bonfire will exhaust itself, because with no gravity, fire will consume ALL oxygen in its surroundings and will die. Gravity IS the phenomenon that allows smoke to rise and ALSO oxygen to get inside the bonfire, so with no gravity, no fire, no smoke.

yes, because each object, no matter how small, has it's own gravity keeping it held together...smoke rises because it is hotter and less dense than natural air, so gravity (as in the earth's gravity as you're implying) shouldn't matter

if there is no gravity, then the heat and smoke would radiate in all directions. Heat travels from hot to cold, just like high pressures travel to lower pressures. They all seek to get away from themselves.

Yes...the smoke rises as a function of the heat.
