Interpreting "affect SMOKE" most expansively, an OBA concentration greater than 70 mm will increase the Hindrance effect of SMOKE by one. Separate Hindrances within a hex are cumulative.
OK, a few cases then in a slightly off topic question, what's the total hindrance of LOS through:
a) in same hex...infantry thrown smoke, say 2 counters of +2 smoke, large Dispersed smoke of +2, and OBA FFE?
b) in two hexes, one of infantry thrown smoke 2 counters of +2 each, another with Dispersed smoke of +2, and both hexes of OBA FFE?

Smoke maximum hindrance is +3.
One hindrance is not smoke so gives a +1.
A +4 ( max smoke plus oba)
B +6(max smoke +3, smoke +2 +1 for one even though it is 2 jphexes).

On B, is the Hindrance for the same FFE in both hexes? The limit of +1 is "per FFE."

Yes. Go through 1 hex or 3 the hindrance is +1. Only from a concentration. Harrassing fire has no hindrNCE.

1.57 FFE LOS HINDRANCE: A HE Concentration (1.7) FFE of ≥ 70mm is considered a two level +1 LOS Hindrance to any LOS traced into, through, within, or from its Blast Area hex(es). This Hindrance DRM never exceeds +1 per FFE, regardless of the number of HE Blast hexes of that concentration it is traced through. For Barrage, see E12.52 and E12.75. See also F11.75

I fear you are missing my (highly unlikely) point. If there were two HE Concentration FFEs of >= 70 mm on the board at the same time, and their blast areas overlap, in the overlapped hexes the FFE LOS Hindrance is +2, not +1.

Yes I was. It is an FFE concentration so two concentrations leads to a +2. As does a barrage.

If the spotter is smoking weed, add a dr to the extent of error when placing an SR.

It might be interesting to note the maximum hindrance from any number of smoke counters in a Location is +3 (+4 for outgoing), per A24.2, 4th sentence.
The only time an OBA concentration of FFE (vs harassing fire which gives no hindrance) has a +1 in EACH hex is in a desert scenario where dust could exist. Otherwise, as mentioned above by others.
