I know there are negative effects from smoking, ya, but are there any inherent traits of cigarette smoke that will affect results from lifting weights?

It lowers your lung capacity so it will make you more tired and wheezy faster. Hope that helps.

Well, smoking cigarettes increases the amount of carbon monoxide and reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood - is that good for weight lifting?
