In theory, yes you can add smoke to your engines regardless of whether you are running analogue or DCC.
You will need to get yourself a smoke generator which is fitted inside the body of your engine and connected to the pickups of the train, you will also need some smoke oil.
Simply put a few drops of smoke oil inside the generator and smoke will be made. The higher the speed of the engine, the higher the voltage and the more smoke you will see.
Please note, in reality, you may not be able to fit a smoke generator inside your engine as there may not be the space. Smoke generators require between 5 and 9mm of width and are usually 24 or 36mm tall. Depending on your engine, you may not be able to drill out the chimney enough to fit the generator.
