Yes,in 3 ways, or you have to change all 3 parameters, it depends on how you want it!
1. "LiveTime " parameter it says -->particles lifetime in s (seconds). if you decrase it we say from 8.0 to 2.0 the particles will disappear faster and the smoke height will bi decreased but it may cause that the effect may look strange, so you may change other parameters too!(don't change many parameters at the sametime, only one parameter and then check the effect).
2. You can decrese "VertAccel" too from 10.0 to 4.0 or 5.0 (this will make smoke hight shorter too)
3. or increse "GasResist " this will compress particles more and the smoke will be shorter.
It all depends on how you want your effect should look like.
The hardest thing is to learn how the different parameters interact with each other.
These changes (in all required parameters) must be in a way that the whole effect looks normal but shorter.
Remember as i said " To manipulate all these parameters which are in connection to each other, is very time consuming..."
