use the back of a spoon, held just above (almost touching) the top of the thing thats smoking (insence sticks are best). Move the spoon by tilting left to right, or by moving over the top of the burner and back , to create swirls and patterns. This prevents the longer, straighter smoke trail.

You need a fast shutter speed also. Colouring the smoke in photoshop after can work well too.
