  I don't beleive this directly answers your question, however, I feel compelled to mention this - smoking rolls about 3db off the high end of your hearing.

• Make used equipment STINK too - Feanor 09:00:28 02/12/07 (0)

  The stink burns off over a few month, but a unit's internal components are permanently stained with a yellowish film.

  If selling used equipment, mention "always in a smoke-free environment", if that is truly the case -- a significant selling point for many potential buyers.

  I know they are candidates for a good cleaning, including airing out the jacket and replacing the sleeve. My interest is the enjoyment of music. This is harder to do when the record (literally) stinks!

  . . I enjoyed music a lot more than I do now as a non-s.
  There are downsides to not smoking, but the pros far outweigh them.

  and it doesn't make any difference. Well, there is one difference I guess. I don't have to pause listening while I go out on the patio to smoke anymore.

    I have the same problem (currently a smoker) I can't get more than half way through a disk without pausing (or leaving it in play) to take a smoke break. Add in beer and it's about every 15 min :(

    Looking to stop soon, trying cold turkey for the nth time yet again!
