Be careful also, higher smoking tendency will have lower smoke point. It is because smoke point is defined by the height of hydrocarbon that is calculated by mm typically where is also the place of hydrocarbon that will be turned into smoke. Aromatic compounds will have lower smoke point and paraffin's will have higher smoke point.

The aromatics have ring structure with double bond, so it is difficult for them to have combustion process so they are first converted into smaller hydrocarbon which are easily combustible like propane, ethane.
