    the idea is for survivors to escape the killer

    Killers can however track survivors still by sound, Game sense, environment awareness and close enough they can still see survs and hit them.

    Also, Leaving the smoke area and continuing the chase

    What Mooks said.

    Though personally I think the screen obfuscation inside the fog cloud should be toned down so the Killer can better understand if the survivor is still inside the smoke or not, and reduce the skill gap for short term memory recollection of the immediate terrain.

    Reducing its effectiveness at just dropping it while the killer is almost near you, requiring a bit more effort to plan where to drop it, in advance.

    I am afraid the best you can do is just focus on the sounds around you
