Answer: In active voice:(Name) is smoking by the door.  

In Passive voice: This sentence is unable to transform into passive voice since it lacks optional object.

Explanation: If you need to turn an active voice sentence into a passive voice sentence,it requires [subject]+[verb (performed by the subject)]+[optional object].

For example,I kicked the ball

I is the subject

kicked is the verb

the ball is the optional object

Since it meets the requirement,it can be transformed into passive voice,which is 'The ball was kicked by me.'

If you really want to transform '(Name) is smoking by the door',you should add an optional object in the sentence like this '(Name) is smoking a cigar by the door'

Therefore,it can be transformed into passive voice,which is 'A cigar was being smoked by (Name) by the door.'
