Narrative:
QRH smoke; fire or fumes procedure may have a mistake: if smoke is your bigger problem; you are instructed to go to the smoke or fumes removal checklist. In the index; the page reference for this checklist is also the page you are already on. I don't see the smoke or fumes removal checklist in the QRH. It is in the flight manual. Unless I'm mistaken; this could cause a dangerous situation [when] trying to figure this out with smoke in the cockpit.
