I have never heard the expression "smoked out" before...but "röka på" is definitely not used to refer to smoking tobacco.

Note from asker:
| Yes, that's how I've seen it used. But is it equivalent to the expression "smoked out" - which implies smoking pot (and not tobacco or other drugs)? |

Actually, I would agree with you. More context is needed (although I don't know what it could possibly have to do with bereavement).

attacked
No context, so I am just guessing it is used to mean "attacked".

Per-Erik Nordström
: rykt ihop säger man om en attack. De två rök ihop på skolgården idag och har rykt ihop förut. Röka på är nåt annat.

Du har rätt. "Ryka på" = överfalla, attackera..
