As there is no line of sight in smoke what happens if troops 'bump into each other' in smoke? Does the troops can not go within 5cm rule apply? Can troops assault in smoke?

Smoke blocks LOS, so in smoke visability is zero.

If a moving unit (-1 on the command roll to move through smoke though) bumps into (contacts) an enemy, it stops and it is treated as a close assault. The moving unit does not get the +1 for assaulting.

Would it not work like High Density Terrain then?

Troops on the Boundary of the Smoke Screen can see out & be seen. So if you have Friendlies and Enemies inside the same Smoke, would they not see each other but remain unseen by any unit outside the smoke?

Combat would just break down to the same rules that are applied to fighting inside high density terrain.
