Smoke Testing:
It is also called as Build Verification Test.It is nothing
but "Test to pass".Testing whether the build is ready for
Test.
Sanity Test:
Testing whether build is ready for further tests.It is done
by either Development team before Build is going to deploy
or Test team before taking the Build.
Conclusion:
Some times both are same as per my knowledge.

Smoke testing : Testing the build to make sure it is stable or not. if yes, further testing types will be continued.
Sanity Testing : It is similar to smoke test. But a particular functionality is tested in-depth to ensure it is developed according to the specification.
