I don't smoke cigarettes personally but if my friends are looking to smoke it's as simple as walking outside. If you have ever walked into the house of a person who full time smokes inside you understand why, if it's powerful enough to stain the ceiling then I'm sure it can cause adverse reactions in our tanks.

Pot on the other hand is a whole other story , I somehow have permafried my fish they now always seem to be hungry .

Default Yes I am an ex smoker since Jan 1986.

To me it only stands to reason that something that will kill people can't be good for corals & fish either but interestingly enough, I know a few people with incredible reefs that smoke around their tanks. That said, since smoking causes people's skin to turn yellowish, wrinkled & leathery over prolonged use perhaps the changes it causes in the coral's tissue looks cosmetically appealing to us but I am pretty sure a few of my buddy's corals have a bad cough & can't taste their food.
