The tar and nicotine in the smoke will gum up you speakers making them sound slow and sluggish sounding.

Also your speakers can get cancer and tumors can grow right out of the woofers from the second hand smoke.

Now if you are talking about Pot smoke well that's a different story. You're speakers will get addicted to the smoke and want more. If you don't give it the "smoke" it will not sing right till you do. Keep this up and your speakers will want a stronger smoke and now you have a real problem on your hand.

Best to smoke outside or just give the nasty s--t up.
I have found it makes female voices sound rough and gravelly, kind of like Selma Diamond.
Depends on the kind of smoke you're talking about, but it can either make your speakers sound like they are firing straight into your brain and especially with multi-channel music, make your feel like you are getting the most insane head massage, or they can make you feel like you want to stab yourself in the heart or into the woofer or jump out your window.
I was always told cigarette smoke deteriorates the surronds on old speakers. This is referring to the surrounds that were like foam as opposed to the modern surrounds that are rubber. Don't know if this is true or not.
