If they don't want to honor their warrantees or make repairs because the owners are smokers, they shouldn't sell to them.

But just because secondhand smoke is so disgusting, I support Apple if it really did void the warranties." So even if there is no bio-hazard, you support the rejection of claims under warranties that people have paid large sums for based entirely on your opinion that smoking is "yuckily offensive?" That's the most blatant display of discrimination I've seen in some time. I guess the anti-smoking crusade to brainwash the ignorant into knee-jerk hatred of smokers is really working. Wow, those guys are good. "Whether it is the true bio-hazard the Consumerist reports allege is beyond my ability to ascertain.
