Smoking around computers

I had a machine from one of the ITT Tech schools the same way - cannibus
keyboard. I think that the pot smoke is actually worse than even the
heaviest of non-filter cigs smoke - the residues from a pot smoker's PC
really are funky when they've sat in storage for a while but I have noticed
that machines with either residue (pot or cigs) don't tend to have mice live
in them when sotred - I tried this by putting a bag of tobacco (cloth bag)
inside and purposely left a filler plate off - no mice. The machine without
had all sorts of acorn shells, poop, nesting materials, etc though.
