I reckon anything that can coat the internal components (and is at all conductive) is also capable of leading to unwarrantable damage because it could induce shorts (not the edible kind).

Means absolutely nothing? I guess I clicked on a different link:

Meh... it's nothing... I asked Carp.

Actually, for me, it is nothing. I just quit smoking after 30 years.
Well... I quit last year also. Maybe it will take this time.

Anyways... my doctor took X-Rays of my lungs and now refuses to work on me.

Thats very true

I would think household lint / dust is more of a problem , since it is ever present . I mean you don't smoke every second of the day , them fans will suck lint and dust even when your not smoking . Office buildings the A/C somewhat filters the air and you cannot smoke so thats a much better condition then home air

Those are a mixed blessing so to speak

1 - Allows you to smoke in no smoking zones , like restaurants
2 - Some people say they quit ? ? I question that

There was cigs in the 80s that were Sweet Smelling , I tried some myself . In general they were herbs rolled up , sorta like smoking incense and very harsh even when filtered . Certainly don't taste like how it smells
