Following on Chef Kellie, with her smokey tea, you could use smokey spices (some chilies, paprika, smoked salts)...for a not-exact but interesting flavor profile. Also, follow Susan W & use a brand without additives.
It's pretty easy to find. I buy it at my Albertsons. It's right above the mustards. Wrights is the brand I use because it's literally just smoke and water. The fancier brands all have other unnecessary ingredients like sugar and other stuff. There really isn't anything like it, but you could use smoked salt depending on what you are using.
It depends on what you are using it in. I use a smoked tea called Lapsang Souchong to add a smoky flavor to my pulled turkey bbq. As an ingredient in the spice rub and also crushed up into the homemade bbq sauce. I've also used it to make homemade smoked tofu.
It is a condiment sold in grocery stores and comes in a bottle, much like Worcestershire sauce. It is smoke that has been passed through a filter of some sort and then liquified. I don't know what you are trying to cook, but I suppose you could add some smoky flavor with bacon or other smoked meat.
