Smoke Test:Smoke Tests should be automated and take less
than 2-3 hours (20 minutes is typical). These tests cases
verify the major functionality a high level. The objective
is to determine if further testing is possible.
Sanity Test:Typically an initial testing effort to determine
if a new software version is performing well enough to
accept it for a major testing effort, For example, if the
new software is crashing systems every 5 minutes, bogging
down systems to a crawl, or destroying databases, the
software may not be in a ‘sane’ enough condition to warrant
further testing in its current state

1.Smoke testing is a wide approach where all areas of the
software application are tested without getting into too
deep. However, a sanity software testing is a narrow
regression testing with a focus on one or a small set of
areas of functionality of the software application.
2.The test cases for smoke testing of the software can be
either manual or automated. However, a sanity test is
generally without test scripts or test cases.
3.Smoke testing of the software application is done to check
whether the build can be accepted for through software
testing. Sanity testing of the software is to ensure whether
the requirements are met or not.

Answer / kriti
ya you can say it almost same. but in real there is some difference.
Both smoke & Sanity testing is tested Randomly in the application.
In Smoke testing we will not chk so deeply to a property of an application, such as:in an application there is some menu option as like file, edit, search, help, abt us etc et...in smoke tstng we just chk it overally whethe its opening or nt or its editng proprly or not bt in Sanity testing we will check it deeply.. it means all the option included in file or edit is working properly or nt...
