Can smoking in a house effect a fish tank?

Yes smoking in the house can affect a fish tank. In the long run it can make the owner sick. Kick the habit. With the money you save you can buy new fish.
 
Non that I've seen, my uncle has been keeping saltwater and freshwater fish for most of his life and is a smoker. It is a great question I wonder just what gets dissolved into the aquarium water since oxygen gets in through surface exchanges caused by turbulence. What else get's dissolved in through the exchange.Though I do agree smoking would definitely be detrimental to reptiles as they can be prone to respiratory problems as is do to humidity etc being off. So second hand smoke definitely has to have a negative effect on their overall longterm health.
 
Smell the air filters in your air pumps. If they smell like smoke, then that's what's being pumped into your tanks.

Fortunately (or unfortunately), most aquarium fish are killed much sooner than the effects of that stuff, though...

Wow are you guys seriously discussing the effects of second hand smoke on fish instead of you or your family?

Fish tanks should have lids anyways but the only way I see it getting in is through your air pumps. I used to repair computers and you can definitely tell which ones where smokers.
