It is extremely cheesy, but can you generally get away with using an enhanced arrow for bonuses, example being a smoking arrow held as an improvised dagger?

Well, it's definitely legal by the rules. Do you get away with it? Probably not. :smalltongue:
At least no DM i know would let a player do that.

What does a smoking weapon do in 3.5 rules, anyway? In 3.0 smoking produced "one-half concealment". Lords of Darkness has no 3.5 revision, and I haven't found anything which updates smoking to 3.5 D&D. "One-half concealment" doesn't exist in 3.5 rules; the lowest level of concealment is simply "concealment", and half of that is (using the standard rule to round down) nothing at all.

It does.

SRD
Varying Degrees of Concealment

Certain situations may provide more or less than typical concealment, and modify the miss chance accordingly.

So, since normal concealment gives a 20% miss chance smoking would be 10% imo.

I think this (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=h2tdqnvmdfmt3d3v0hco9dnpi1&topic=10419.0) is the thread you need to look for.

The issue with enchanted ammunition is that it breaks as soon as you hit something with it.

And since it's not intended for use as a melee weapon you'd get the -4 improvised weapon penalty.
