i don't know if he needs to kill them, or just recruit them to his side. when smoke man told Jacob that he wanted to kill him (in the Richard episode) Jacob said, "someone else will just take my place." Smoke man replied, "then I'll kill them too." I think smoke man needs to recruit or kill all the "candidates" in order to make it so there is no one left to replace Jacob...thereby disrupting the balance, removing the island cork and letting hell spill out to the rest of the "real world."
