**I decided not to post up the actual pictures as my post will be way too big! Instead I posted links to photobucket!
***You will NOT always get these smokes perfectly the first time around. It takes practice and some adjustments!
Why smokes?
Smokes are a key part of playing Terrorist side in any de_ map! They render so many spots useless, and people fail to see how useful they are!
I'll give a few "smoke spots" that will render some spots useless for CTs
Starting with Dust2, one of my favorite maps.
Dust2 Smokes
One of the harder sites to take is B in this map. Why? Because you have to go through mid, which is impossible :p and you have to go through tunnels. It's easy for someone in the back of the site to awp you due to the linearity of the hallway.
Okay to start off.

Do you see that palm tree where I'm aiming? Normally when the round starts, people will jump over the ledge, come down, and head to tunnels.
Well if you aim slightly below the very tip of the highest "palm tree leaf"

, while jumping over the ledge and throwing the smoke, the smoke will land in the B site like so.

This renders the "ksharp" spot and the box spots useless! I like to personally play the ksharp spot which is beside the barrels, on the ledge, and crouching. So I would have some trouble.
Now what about those annoying boxes out back?
Well from T spawn, start from here
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z42 ... omhere.png
Run up the ledge, aim slightly above the left of the dome, like so..

Keep in mind this is while jumping.
And the results?

completely blinding the guy at the back of the site.
Now for the mid smoke
If anyone decent is awping short from CT middle, then it's unlikely that you will be able to go through into short.
So what do you do? At the start of the round, go here.. And just stay right in the corner, you don't have to move.

Aim where I'm at, and throw the smoke.
The results:

Probably an angry ct who can't see anything!
Smoking Long
One of the most annoying things to deal with while rushing long is the people in pit and the people by the corner watching the doors. One of them will most likely be an awper, so what do you do?
At the start of the round, while you're at T spawn aim towards long, like so
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z42 ... elong1.png
Jump, then throw a smoke
The result is this.
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z42 ... result.png
As you can see, the person cannot watch the doorway and thus you will only have to worry about pit
Now.. You took pit.
You head towards a platform and find yourself getting awped by linear or myself from mid. What do you do? You simply smoke it like so.
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z42 ... result.png
Then you can freely head to a platform and plant You can throw another smoke towards cat if your team hasn't already pushed it.
As you can see, smokes are extremely useful as a terrorist In addition, you can also use them to hide yourself when defusing a bomb as a counter-terrorist. Keep in mind smokes don't make you invulnerable. To counter them, normally people would spam through the smoke. But hey, it's better to have them spray blindly than to have them spray clearly! :]
