I'm trying to build a bit of a foil for one of my more competent casters, and I came upon a conundrum.

The Smoke Bomb discovery reads as follows:

When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can choose to have it create a cloud of thick smoke when it detonates. The cloud functions as Fog Cloud, filling an area equal to twice the bomb's splash radius for 1 round per level.

Because it uses the phrase "As Fog Cloud," does that mean a wizard could use a targeted Dispel Magic to clear the smoke?

Dispel magic would not affect the smoke bomb. The smoke bomb discovery is a SU special ability and under that description we have the answer.

Supernatural Abilities (Su)

Supernatural abilities are magical but not spell-like. Supernatural abilities are not subject to spell resistance and do not function in areas where magic is suppressed or negated (such as an antimagic field). A supernatural ability’s effect cannot be dispelled and is not subject to counterspells.
