I asked a friend of mine who is a teacher of Latin and Ancient Greek and with whom I have studied Greek. Here is his reply:

"https://logeion.uchicago.edu/%E1%BC%80%CE%BA%CE%AC%CF%80%CE%BD%CF%89%CF%84%CE%BF%CF%82

ἀκάπνωτος, free from vapour   (the Latinized version of that word is akapnotos)

from: καπνός, smoke   (the initial alpha above means "none")

from: καπνόω, reduce to smoke 

the καπνιαω & καπνιος forms (with the extra iota) seem to be used in Galen, but there also καπνειος used by older authors

καπνιαω: https://logeion.uchicago.edu/%CE%BA%CE%AC%CF%80%CE%BD%CE%B9%CE%BF%CF%82 

καπνειος: https://logeion.uchicago.edu/%CE%BA%CE%AC%CF%80%CE%BD%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%BF%CF%82"


(For clarification, the Latin adaptation of the word ἀκάπνωτος is akapnotos)
