...it's bad when the magic smoke gets out of your clothes dryer, yes?

If it's filling up the inside of the house? Yes, that's bad. Try cleaning/replacing the vent hose.

I agree. I would check this first. It could be a buildup of lint in the dryer exhaust, which can ignite.

The problem with the magic smoke is that it can't ever go back in... that's bad. I suggest hiring a wizard to magic new smoke.

Yes, a leak in the smoke containment unit is usually a bad sign.

Only if you like drying your clothes in it.

Short answer: yes

Maybe a belt is messed up and the friction's causing the smoke?
