Neither wave is smoother than the other. However, the two waves are usually evaluated from 0 to 2*pi, and in that case, the cosine wave begins at y=1, and the sine wave begins at 0.

Why you are considering sine wave as ac but not cosine wave?

Sine wave is considered as the AC signal because it starts at 0 amplitude and it captures the alternating nature of the signal. Cosine wave is just a phase shift of the sine wave and represents the same signal. So, either sine or cosine wave can be used to represent AC signals. However, sine wave is more conventionally used.
