When you smoke around your plants, the smoke can cause the Stomata to close. The plant will not transpire propley and that will stunt the growth.
Justin - It's the blue flame that makes the usable CO² not a burn process when you burn anything there are other by-products that are bad for the plant that may be mixed with the CO². The whole idea of using CO² is raising the level above 1500ppm and hold it there for hours so the plants can asorb the extra amount.
Smoking in the boy's room.....is OK
I'm new to growing, well sorta, will be my third harvest coming up. However I was told that some of the chemicals in most smoke, anything tobacco/papers, could clog porres on your plant.

Don't.
no dont do it
Most people that know what there talking about don't recommend it, especially cigarettes/ tobacco, it clogs plant stomatas makes them less vigorous, etc. But myself can't be hanging out in my room without firing up a big old spliff! Doesn't effect em to much, after all having a great air circulation will move that all out in a few minutes.
I doubt there's any noticeable effect on the plants unless you're just creating constant clouds of smoke. I don't worry about it, personally. If the plants come marching out of the cabinet looking angry with signs protesting my smoking, I might reconsider. Otherwise, fuck 'em, I'm gonna chop their heads off and burn 'em later anyway. ;)
