Smoke coming out of a console is never a good thing. I wouldn't use the Wii and I'd call Nintendo asap. Explain to them what happened/what is happining, they should be able to tell you why it's happining and what you need to do to fix it.

Pretty much this. You should definately unplug your Wii and not play it until you've found a solution.

Something in your Wii is burning and you're asking us if you should be concerned about it?

while the console might run, using it will endure further damage even fire hazard. don't use it

turn off the console immediately and bring it to a service if you say it's still running games there is a high chance it can be fixed , but with further burning inside you reduce the fix chance

Wii ain't suppose to burn mate unless you modded it to become a motion sensored grill station.

No kidding. I've gone on message boards to ask questions about less serious things like noise or occasional freezing just to see if it's something wrong with my system that I can fix or if it's something more widespread, but I think I could determine on my own that something is wrong if my Wii was releasing black smoke and funny smells.

Nothing in your house should have smoke coming out of it, except for a candle or incense, of course it's a problem!

Get at towel and send in smoke signals for Nintendo to retrieve so they can come by and rescue your Wii.

In addition to all the humorous things you should do:

Hang some fish fillets over top the thing
Get your Wii an ashtray, and,
When's the last time you put oil in it?

Ugh...couldn't help myself.

Take advantage of this little dilemma and use it as a fuel source, either that or replace the bar code with a niccotine patch

I'd have to say yes. Any sign of smoke and or smells is never good. This is the first time I've ever heard of this. It might be overheating. Maybe your fan isn't working. Do you still have your warranty on it? If so then return it and get a new one.

This blackish smoke and bad smell is not a problem, but I am almost certain that the noise its making, means it just needs a new wheel bearing.....

Concerned? :o You should be terrified!

I suggest you eject any disc in that Wii and unplug it immediately, then call Nintendo.

You didn't actually directly inhale the smoke did you? I don't even want to think about how terrible that must be for your lungs.
