I don't smoke when I'm playing and I don't smoke when I am not playing.
I did smoke many years ago and used to smoke when I was playing poker, I cannot see it makes any
difference whether you smoke or not while playing poker.

I quit smoking in my pc room as it cost me couple pc's over the years and this may be weird to some , but i have sensitive eyes and i can only use old type CRT screens . After my previous monitor broke down , i found out a nice CRT is not that easy to get anymore .
Using a lcd screen short time i got such eye irritation , i could not look at any screen , fast moving images anymore for little over a week .
I did watch some slow tv a little as its like you are addicted to watch something on a screen [][][]
The situation felt bad like i never can watch any movie again , but the doctor over the phone kinda said it was eye irritation and need rest and eye drops . [ i also had to give up poker at this time , i think GGpoker must have thought i died ]
When i finally got some bettter with my eyes i managed to get a nice second hand screen , it was even slightly better then my old one .
But when connecting to pc it would not work .
My brother managed to get me another CRT and still my pc starts but the screen dont work . As my brother tested the monitor beforehand , now i knew somehow i had some other pc problem . I tried some stuff like replace videocard etc but could not figure out what the heck was wrong.
Hired some pc help at home guy , not something i like spend money on , but ok .
When trying some stuff with my pc and then connect pc to monitor , my pc dies . I was a bit shocked .
I still had my old pc , i build myself but at one point i got problems and could never fix .
[ the pc i used was old pc from my brothers wife i got when i needed help to get online again ]
On my old pc i had somewhat modern videocard that uses conversion cable for VGA connection .
The pc guy switched that card for standard VGA card , and then my old pc worked !! [ i tried switching videocard before but did not help ]
It sucked the bad videocard , but with my eyes it stayed more sensitive and i had to give up gaming as cant handle the flashes etc .
It was good i had already lost my intrest a bit in my fav game and being over 50 , its just a bit over for me the gaming , and i can accept this .
Looking at the pc that died i asked him what happened , he thought PSU died and maybe mainboard problem but was not sure .
But then he started about how dirty my pc was , and i did know a bit , but not it was this dirty and this damaging to my pc .
That i was basically killing my pc's with my smoking , because yes i thought about earlier problems i had with pc's .
It all made more sense now these problems over the years . [ is also regular dust problem but mainly smoking is the killer ]
PC guy told about pc problems clients had that were due to a lot of smoking behind the pc .
I loved smoking behind the pc when play games or poker or watch movie , but it was pretty easy on that moment to decide to stop smoking behind the pc and only smoke in designated smook room .
This is a lot of text , but hopefully intresting enough story and i hope may save the lives of a couple pc's .

I smoke regularly on 5 min breaks. It helps me to reset all negative energy that build up in 55 minutes. After smoke Im chill. Its a bad habit, but being smoker for almost 20 years is my nemesis.
