You all know the score. If you smoke, everyone else is at the risk of becoming PASSIVE SMOKERS - that is, if you smoke around someone, they too can share in the exotic toxic cloud you enjoy.
Now, I'm not here to stop you smoking - good God no. I may not agree with it, but free choice, "power to the people" etc., means I will not preach at you about how you abuse your bodies. Your computer, on the other hand, is another matter...
Dust is the computer engineer's worst enemy. Dust can turn a fabulously running piece of kit into a slovenly malfunctioning heap of scrap metal that sits in the corner of your living room like a teenager waiting for his/her allowance. Dust does this by creating electrical shorts, or by stopping the computer from shedding heat.
Now, imagine dust mixed with Marmite.
That's what happens to the insides of your computer if you smoke - the insides become covered in a thin layer of sticky tar that attracts dust like a doughnut attracts flies. The result is a sticky, grimy mess that's almost impossible to shift with anything other than a blowtorch. Once that gets into your computer, it's only a matter of time before problems start developing. Power supplies start to overheat, memory fails, fans slow down...
If you want to see just how bad it can get, take a look at these Ventblockers.

The moral? Don't smoke around your PC...

I agree much, as computer users we should make sure that the unit is dust free and frequent maintenance can prolong its life.
