My son recently flipped a light switch in my home half-way between on and off. It began to smoke and sputter. Now it still smokes even after we turn it all the way on. Can I just replace the switch or is there a possible wiring issue?

Maybe!

I would call an electrician immediately. There may be a bigger problem that needs to be diagnosed.

Spend the money for safety's sake!
