At the cost of throwing bolts of fire, the Smoke subdomain allows you to create a 5-foot radius cloud of smoke. You can use this ability 3 + wis bonus times per day, but what is the duration of this effect? Most of the powers and abilities look to last one round per cleric level, but I wouldn't be broken up if it lasted one minute per level:)
Thanks ahead of time for this info!
It's just a smidgen over two years later, and I have the same question!

It's undefined. I don't think there is a general rule. It is not in the APG FAQ.
If there are a number of domain abilities like this, you might have better luck on FAQ hits by asking a general question on the duration of such effects.
Rounds per CL seems too long. 1 round duration is consistent with a lot of the X/day domain abilities. 1 round/ 2 CL may sound right to some people or play styles.
On a side note, this is the weirdest smoke I've ever heard of. If you're inside the smoke attacking out, you have one kind of attack penalty. And if you're outside the smoke attacking in, you have a different kind of attack penalty. And if you and your opponent are on opposite sides of the smoke, you have no attack penalty!
After reading the ability, I have to think that it's intended as a instant effect, not a lasting one. So it wouldn't have a duration. This is in keeping with most of the (relatively crappy) first-level domain powers.
Edit: On the other hand, it does say "for as long as they stay inside", which would be meaningless with an instantaneous effect. So, no idea. Sounds like an oversight.
