Is Smoking Really That Bad For Audio Equipment?

I'm not a cig smoker myself but I have an ashtray available at all times for friends to smoke at my place. I am not about to send my friends outside in the cold Wisconsin winter or the sweltering Wisconsin summer. My rack is housed out of the room anyway, and as long as they're not blowing smoke right at the Kharmas, we're cool. I should mention my room is about 25' by 14' with 10' ceilings, so there's enough space for the smoke to am-scray.

Of course hash is welcome here any time, bawng, glass, paper, vaporizer or fresh fruit! hehe. Same rule applies.

I agree that a regular smoker in an unventilated room is a different story, but if it's just the occasional occurrence it's not going to be a problem and don't let the propaganda sway you otherwise.

MHO anyhoo.

"ToqueMaster" ?! ROFLMAO !

Everyone knows that smoking stunts the growth of your equipment.

Dirtyragamuffin, I was in Green Bay in Dec. 04 and it was freaking cold compared to Chicago. I guess you have to be be alot tougher to endure Wisconsin winters, and I could see why you would not ask your friends to head outside. I have never had hashish...it would probably be too strong for me. I will stick with beer and whiskey when I am looking to relax. A little off topic, but there was this beer from Wisconsin called Rhinelander. It was really cheap and pretty decent, but unfortunately I can no longer find it. Such is life!

Gtthrush1 I say vaporize!;)-~
