I think sandard consumer smoke alarms are designed so they don't go off with all smoke types. This is to prevent them being super annoying and people removing the batteries too often.
They're configured to trigger only when smoke with particle sizes of a certain sizee are detected (wood, textile,oil, etc) and not cigarettes for example.
