So is something like an EMP ? Shouldn't it cause damage to the surrounding electronic devices ?

They let the smoke out. You aren't supposed to do that. Electronics only work if you keep their smoke inside.

Just trying to figure out what kind of smoke is in an atom.

I'll repeat the words my friend told his buddy when a 4 inch arc came out of, and sustained itself, buzzing away at 120 Hertz, from the internals of an RF amplifier.

  I don't think it's supposed to do that. ;-)

Subatomic smoke, also known as quantum smoke. It's both here and there, but you will never know until you look.
