If you want to learn the Smoke, I would suggest taking classes directly from Autodesk. I took their classes, and I learned far more then I would have if I just did the tutorials on my own. You could also pick up a copy of combustion, that will help you get familiar with Autodesk's line of compositing products.
If you are not married to the idea of working on a Smoke or Flame, you could also learn a program like Nuke or After Effects. I know you can get a demo version of Nuke, and they have lots of tutorials on their website. If you want something you can play around with everyday, I would recommend going the free Nuke route for now. FYI ILM bought a site license of Nuke, so it is something that big companies are using in their workflow. At least for features and such.
