Such as clouds or smoke (6)

I believe the answer is:

vapour

(Other definitions for vapour that I've seen before include "Visible steam or clouds" , "Liquid in gas form" , "Gas-like mist" , "Particles suspended in air" , "Substance in the form of a mist, fume or smoke" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
