Technically they are both made from ground peppers but smoked is made from peppers that are smoked before grinding.
This is my favorite source for spices...awesome company. Unfortunately their stores are closed right now but still doing mail order. If you ever get a chance to go into one of their stores, it is quite an adventure. Also Trader Joe has smoked paprika.

I love Penzey’s and use the smoked paprika along with their Chicago Steak seasoning (with hickory smoke flavor) on everything: asparagus on the grill, popcorn on the stove (I put dashes in with the oil), salad, salmon, pork chops, portobello mushrooms. Everything.
