Question about cultural things and sayings from a manga written in the 50s.

I’m reading the English release of Astro Boy released by Dark Horse. I have a question about [one particular panel.](https://imgur.com/gallery/MNfpdvF)

I’ve heard the idiom in the western world of “steaming mad” but I’ve never heard of smoking mad. Do the Japanese people have a saying about being so mad you are smoking cigarettes?

He hadn’t been smoking prior so it wasn’t a gag about his cigarettes getting moved by the shot of the gun.

    I don’t smoke and even I know this. This is not exclusive to Japan
