That's obviously the intent, so it is text-book harassment. Turbulence pretty much dissipates the smoke immediately, but the close pass/loud noise is just nasty and dangerous.
That, actually IS the main aggressive part of the maneuver, the smoke is just the visible part of the F' U, you do not belong on the road mentality so you needs to stay off ,...
