Smoke Testing means testing the basic functionality of the application/system without knowing any businees requirements. It is also called as Adhoc or sanity Testing .

We cannot use any Testing Tool when the application is under sanity or adhoc or Smoke testing . Because at this level the application or system will not be in stable condition.

Once the System or application which you are testing comes to a stable condition then u can go for automating it. That's the way Testing tool will be more affective.

Hi,

I too would agree with Jagdeesh.. Smoke/Sanity testing is done when we receive a build, when we are trying to find out whether the system is stable or not. Manual testing is recommended during this time. Tools can be used for Regression Testing, once the system is stable.. to save time.

Hi,

  We can't use the Automation tool for Smoke Testing.Because Smoke test is the basic and initial test conducted on the application to check whether the application is stable or not.So in this case the application may or maynot be stable.So we can't use the tool for Smoke test.

Yes, you can use the tool for smoke tesing. 
Smoke tesing is the basic testing like all the links, buttons, valid data is entered properly and the overall functionality is working propely. 
I feel what ever tool you are using for automation, can be used for smoke testing also.  You should be very carefull while creating automated script for the same.  See what you are going to test if in the manuall smoke tesing write the automated script for the same.
