It will turn acrylic yellow quickly, and a regular tank will slowly tinge. The temperature difference helps the smoke stick to the glass quickly. Many people avoid keeping a fish tank in a bar for this reason. I've had many people want to put there tank in the rec area like a bar, but I saw first hand how quick they begin to look bad. Good new is, if you do it, your fish can't get lung cancer from 2nd hand smoke :happyfish

I would think that some of the chemicals in smoke would get into the water, and might be dangerous to some of the less-hardy animals.

I mean, I am not positive since there have never been (to my knowledge) any experiments done on smokes effect on marine animals. It would seem likely that there would be an effect though.
