In online auctions people often mention that their stuff has been kept in a smoke free studio, non-smoking environment, etc. Will smoking around my gear actually harm it, or do people just say this to make their stuff sound more attractive to buyers? |

It can't be good... If you smoke near your computer: just open it up and look how much tar/filth is on your fan. It's really disgusting. |

I can't stand non-smoking studios.
A good reason to just stick to software and replace your tared up computer every few years 
When I been picking apart hardware that I have been smoking a lot around in the past I didn't note any tar though.
Dust seems to be more of a problem for faders and pots with the level of tidyness I usually have

how can you make music without somking?
its like getting up in the morning and drinking coffee without a cigarette.
and by the way ,all the big musicians work while smoking (not only cigarettes) 
and thats also what they do when they are not working.
when im sitting in front of my commputer i think i smoke ten times more. |

If this were anywhere near true, I'd be content to be the smallest musician possible, forever, because there is no currency greater than health--not fame, not anything. Just ask a terminally ill millionaire.
If you can spend two hours online researching the massive impact of cigarette smoking on both the individual and the society, and then still proceed to light up, then you have my respect, light up and enjoy your choice. But the vast majority of smokers are living in denial of the truths about the insidiously marketed activity, largely because they are still young. I used to smoke, and it made me feel horrid, luckily I shed it after a prolonged battle. Nothing is worse than screwing with your oxygen supply.
If you're gonna do anything, stick to the the edibles IMO.... |

EYB,
Here is the catch 22 of smoking and all addictive drugs--you have to decide to feel bad for a while in order to feel good again. And since most people whose lungs are filled with tar can't even remember what it feels like to have clean lungs and a high oxygen uptake (healthy blood,) then they never get over that initial hump of pain/withdrawal. I did it with the gum, by decoupling the oral fixation from the nicotine addiction, it was very very helpful and made the task manageable. Some people with less addictive personalities/genetics can do it cold turkey.
If you could somehow magically allow the average smoker to do an instantaneous A/B comparison of perfect health and their current state, I tend to think they would ditch the habit instantly. It's the slow decline that tricks people. And enriches Big Tobacco (Tm) |

Kids, quit smoking and stay in school!
Well, actually I enjoyed smoking cigarettes, but did actually quit to ensure a better health....did it the hard way...and it was exactly that...Hard! But it's been worth it.
You are beautiful, no matter what they say! |
