The Division of Forestry and Wildlife of the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources has designated smoke bush as one of Hawaii's Most Invasive Horticultural Plants. Additionally, when tested by the Hawaii and Pacific Islands Weed Risk Assessment, Buddleja madagascariensis was ranked as a pest.

Smoke bush currently only occurs in a few areas on Oahu. For more information:
