Smoke grenade

Smoke-producing flares are used for a variety of reasons by the UNSC. Different reasons appear to have different colors of smoke attached to them. There are a variety of smoke-producing items, none of which has yet been seen in any Halo video game. But they will possibly make an appearance in Halo 3, because a "smoke bomb" was discovered in Hex.
