You might be right about Roku airbending but I don't believe there is a way to tell for sure. Still, I think I'll watch it again just in case. However, my point is still that even if he didn't bend gas, a firebender should be able to bend smoke because smoke comes from fire, right? In my theory of why we don't really see it, most don't bother because fire is more practical on almost all levels. But if it's possible to learn to control smoke (and it should be for a firebender on some level), technically that's a poisonous gas. You can get smoke poisoning and die. Plus a good part of smoke is carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Those are poisonous gases, especially carbon for monoxide. If a specialized firebender had the knowledge and skill I think he could use poison gas. And if there's poison gas then poison flames aren't really a stretch. I don't know if they would be green flames, as we don't know what the other colored flames do (and carbon monoxide and dioxide are clear) but there most definitely could be poison flame. As far as green flames go, I just thought green flames would look cool and there are green poison flames in real life even so I made the connection. But a poison-firebender is at this point in time completely possible even if it doesn't happen in the next series.
