Umm.. It is.  (at least, I THINK it is...)

Well, that % is the amount of falloff PER UNIT (a "unit" being a meter in
modeler).  Thus, to have a texture fall off after 1 meter means 100%
falloff.  2 Meters would be 50% falloff/meter (or unit).  That's it.
Your smoke must be .1 meters tall if it takes 100% for it to fall off...

Hope this helps...
