Morphology

smokin' = smoking (semi-transparent) = smoke + in'

The intensifier use is a colloquial clipping of 'smoking' and functions idiomatically rather than via a productive adverbial rule.

Etymology

Smokin' as an adverb comes from smoking and smoke, with the idea of being 'so hot it smokes'. Used before an adjective, it means 'very' or 'extremely', like saying something is 'so hot it smokes', so smokin' adds strong emphasis.
