I was wondering the same thing.  I was planning to do a mite treatment on my hives but was concerned about whether the smoke had created more stress than would be healthy for the colonies if I treated them at this time.  We are in an area that is pretty socked in with smoke and has been for over a week.  

Any advice?

The smoke is still pretty strong here in Beaverton.  I was thinking the bee's would eat their reserves and possibly start looking to find a new location.

So.

1. extra feeding is in order - as I would be doing to prep for winter anyways

2. I am also concerned about hive pheromone communication from the queen, as this is effectively "smoking" the hive before inspection, etc.  So the scheduled Mite Treatment for Sept is also a concern.

3. As I was concerned about the bee's absconding, I have put on entrance reducers, but I don't want to leave them on if not needed.

Maybe it is just a coincidence, but I have noticed that all my hives (six of them) have been staging an orientation swarm at around three o'clock in the afternoon.  That a hive will have an orientation flight in front of the hive periodically is nothing new.  But to have all six hives perform such a process about the same time every day does seem strange. It all seems to have started with the smoke.  At least that's when I first noticed it.  Has anybody else seen this or any other strange behavior by their bees?
