I was confused about this earlier too, but now I know that it was just heatbending, which has also been seen in "The Siege of the North (can't remember if it was part 1 or 2)" when a firebender beside Zhao used it to melt snow off himself. The smokelike substance was just the animators' was of showing heatbending, since heat is practically invisible.
