No, air has a density of 1.225 g/l @ 15°C. and Standard Atmospheric Pressure while butane is 2.52 g/l. Butane is more than twice as heavy as air!

Smoke density is less that of the surrounding air, and thus it rises. The same goes for a hot air baloon the density of the air trapped inside a ballon will rise.
