As per me

Smoke Testing-

It is Done by Developer to check whether the built is ready
to release for Testing or not.
Here Developer check main functionality of application is
working or not.It is cursory testing of built.It is just
like normal health checkup.It is scripted.It is wide and
shallow testing of built.

Sanity testing.

Sanity Testing is done by Testing team or Testing TL.It is
complatly or through testing of functionality of
application.It is narrow and in depth testing. It is non
Scripted. It is also called as BVT.Sanity Testing is a
subset of regression testing and a group of test cases r
executed that r related with the change made to the
application.

To clear Above Concept I want to give one Small Eg.here.

Suppose X Person is going to Purchase a new bike.

Teking a test ride to test basic functionality of the bike
at showroom can b compared to Smoke testing. A product in
the above story Mr.X was determining in the basic features
of the bike were stable and acceptable.
In further testing....
Testing bike performance in detail after bringing it home
can b compared to Sanity Testing of a product.Testing all
these features was not possible in shoeroom or while taking
a Test ride of Bike.
