So you guy's think I haven't done any damage except make my pc smell hard? (To my pc)

The legal smoking age here in the states is 18, but even so smoking is disgusting, and with the price of them being so high, I can't see how anyone would want to pay that.

Idk about cigarettes, but smoking other things will cause your fans to slow down, your processor to run at 20%, and will cause it to consume more power for about 3 hours

but nicotine is a drug.. why are we talking about drugs here?

TFT · 04-29-2008, 08:22 PM

Because it's legal

Anyways, we got off topic, he's not asking if he should smoke or not.

I got quite the chuckle out of that.

I don't think smoking is too bad for your computer, other than it will smell like smoke. I wouldn't blow the smoke directly at it, mind you, but if your just smoking in the same room it should be fine.

It won't do your computer no harm at all, just that you'll die before the computer does

Worst thing even is that nicotine isn't the stuff that will give you cancer (or something in that general direction). It's the CO2 that you breathe in that gets in your blood and what not what's causing the cancer etc. So if you use Nicotine patches/gum you will still get the nicotine but you won't get the cancer (well, the elevated chance of getting cancer. You still might get cancer.)
