The tar and other solids do have thier effects on machines, just basically
depends on where it is in conjuction to the smoke you exhale and the ashtray
with the smoldering cigs - I took one apart that I used a lot when I did
smoke - pew did it wreak! I never noticed it when I smoked though and I
noticed also since I'm a non-smoker (not an anti-smoker though like many
that quit) that the machines that I did smoke near have a brown film on them
inside and out, and that the fans and inside power siupplies are loaded with
dust that the tar collected with.
