How it's used
This term carries a poetic and literary tone, often used to describe landscapes that are obscured by mist, fog, or dust. While it literally combines wind and smoke, it is rarely used to describe actual industrial pollution or fire, functioning instead as a descriptive term for atmospheric scenery.
Examples
The distant hills are covered in haze, looking just like a painting.
It is so hazy here that I cannot see the road ahead at all.
