Does cigarette smoke enter the water of the fish tank. I have an aerator with an air filter connection; will this work or should i just leave the aerator off? How bad will it affect the fish? On another note can u kill a fish by getting it high (feeding or blowing pot smoke in the tank)?

First obviously I'm talking about my fish it says so in my ? Its not like I sit and blow cig smoke into my tank. And my fish are not my children they are animals which I take good care of and is why I'm asking the question. As for the pot smoke question I know someone who sits and blows hits threw his aerator tube; that obviously affects the water but doesn't seem to affect the fish; wasnt sure though.

John you obviously didnt read my edit. I do smoke cigs around my fish not pot. My buddy forces smoke in the tank I'm asking not really on his behalf but more to be like hey man this is what other people say. Please read before posting answers. TY

My roommates constantly smoked weed in the livingroom with 2 decent sized fish tanks in it. Neither one seemed to have any noticable health problems from it. Strangely, they wouldn't smoke cigarettes in the house, so I don't know how that works out. Considering all of the tar and crap that will accumulate on the cieling from cigarette smoke, I can't imagine it would be that good for your fish.
Its probably not a great idea if you have fish you want to keep for a long time. If their disposable like guppies, who cares, but I don't think you'd want to subject a nice big fish like an oscar (the type you can get attached to) to that sort of thing.

All the chemicals in the smoke are released into the air. Through the exchange of gas and water in the filter, this adds the smoke chemicals into the water. This causes damage to the fishes' gills. A little puff of it wouldn't be bad, but if you are constantly smoking near your tank, it could affect them. Fish can get drunk, fish can get high, fish can become intoxicated, that is the main point.

Initially your post looks a reasonable query but the final part is very telling-why on earth would you want to do something like that-you already know it's a terrible thing to do or you wouldn't have asked. I would have thought the most counter-productive thing you could do while smoking pot would be to cause discomfort or death to another being therefore giving yourself extremely bad vibes. Grow up & get a life, if you are not prepared to take care of your fish properly then advertise them on your local Freecycle group.

Why would you even think of that? Think of you fish as little kids. Would you blow smoke in their faces? Whether they get high or not is irrelevant, it is just something you should not do.

Nicotine is a pesticide. In high enough concentrations it can alter the chemistry of the water.

It can give your fish a instant heart attack. Know is sudden death , especially in tropical fish tanks.
