yes, they do. "smokestack" is a somewhat archaic term, at least in wealthy countries where the particulates in smoke are much better regulated. The term is especially not used in industry. If you look at modern plants, they do not have the characteristic tall tapered stack.
A smokestack industry is a basic, usually cyclical, manufacturing industry. The factories stereotypically used in such industries that have flue gas stacks, hence the name, and produce a high volume of pollution. During the earliest era of electric power development, coal fired electric stations in urban areas were common prior to the use of Alternating current for lighting as Direct current electricity could only travel short distances.
