Is Smoking Really That Bad For Audio Equipment?

TM bong?

I went bowling tonight and saw a sign in the bowling alley that starting Monday cigarette smoking is banned in all indoor public settings in Chicago. So, I think that smoking will continue to decline as smokers have less opportunities to engage their habit. At my office, the smoking area is outside and tucked out of sight from the street and away from the occupants going into and out of the building. I heard a rumor that soon smokers will not be allowed within 50 feet of a public building. The tax on cigarettes here is several dollars so that a pack costs $7.00. Think of all the audio equipment they could buy if they quit that habit.

Unsound and Tobias:

ToqueMaster. 'nuff said... ;-)

I'm not a cig smoker myself but I have an ashtray available at all times for friends to smoke at my place. I am not about to send my friends outside in the cold Wisconsin winter or the sweltering Wisconsin summer. My rack is housed out of the room anyway, and as long as they're not blowing smoke right at the Kharmas, we're cool. I should mention my room is about 25' by 14' with 10' ceilings, so there's enough space for the smoke to am-scray.

Of course hash is welcome here any time, bawng, glass, paper, vaporizer or fresh fruit! hehe. Same rule applies.

I agree that a regular smoker in an unventilated room is a different story, but if it's just the occasional occurrence it's not going to be a problem and don't let the propaganda sway you otherwise.

MHO anyhoo.

"ToqueMaster" ?! ROFLMAO !
