Steve Jobs determines smoking is injurious to your Mac

[Mgamer20o0]

A report in the Consumerist said that Apple is refusing to honor warranties on machines in houses where people smoke.

The report quotes two readers that were told their warranties were void because computers were used in a house where people smoked.

The reason? Cigarette smoke is considered a biohazard and employees repairing machines that were exposed to dangerous substances were put at risk.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mentions a number of other hazardous substances including calcium carbonate, sucrose, and talcum powder.

One Mac user had an extended Applecare warranty in place and was told that his broken computer couldn't be fixed because it was contaminated.

I'll second (or third or whatever) the cigarettes are gross statement - however, I think that's crap to void a warranty over smoker vs non-smoker household.... JMO of course.
