Apple Warranties Compromised By Tobacco?

(Full disclosure: I own an iPhone, which is both amazing and meh. If you own one you know what I mean.)
If you own any Apple products and subject them to tobacco smoke on a regular basis, you may be interested to learn that according to this site Steve Jobs himself considers this to be a bona fide breach of your warranty, despite no language indicating this potential to void in the warranty itself. You might want to try a little Fabreeze before taking your product in for service.
Well, fine – do not need his products, anyway. I hope he croaks while texting someone while working out, choking on spinach.
I don’t own any apple products and I’m 1 month and 1 week into being a non-smoker.
Yeah for me X 2!
I’d say apple should do a better job communicating this to their clients since it is not illegal to smoke in your home.
It doesn’t surprise me in the least that a chain smoker’s computer would be filthy. I had to help out my father one time and I did actually notice the accumulation of cigarette crud in his PC. Here’s a link with images of what it looks like:

That being said, something tells me the mindless drones, including the smokers, will all line up and buy apple products just like they did before regardless of their policy.
