Just run through it, lol. Honestly, sometimes the best strategy is the most direct one. If you're feeling brave, charging through a smoke can catch enemies off guard.

Clearing smokes in CS:GO isn't something you can do directly since smokes are designed to obstruct vision and control player movement. However, you can use smokes strategically to your advantage. One way is to wait it out; smokes last about 18 seconds, so sometimes patience is key. Alternatively, learning smoke patterns can help you anticipate enemy movements and shoot through the smoke with an educated guess. Another tactic is to use a high-explosive grenade (HE) to push enemies away from their smoke cover. Lastly, positioning yourself in unexpected places where the smoke's effect is minimal to your line of sight can surprise your opponents.

No such thing as 'clearing' smokes, just tactics to deal with them. Smokes are there to create strategic gameplay, so learning to adapt is key.
