I live in an apartment and I have all my recording equipment and instruments set up in my bedroom (iMac, audio interface, electronic keyboard, dynamic and condenser mics, guitar amplifier, guitars, etc...). I'm a one night a week cigarette smoker, and the winters get very cold where I am. My bathroom is the next room over from my bedroom, several feet away. If I were to have some cigarettes one night a week in the bathroom with the window open and do my best to blow out the window, and have both the bathroom and bedroom doors closed, what do ya'll think the odds are that my equipment will degrade or get damaged from the smoke?? The only way for the smoke to travel to my bedroom from the bathroom would be through the cracks in both doors.
I've heard that cigarette smoke can damage electronics, so I thought I'd ask what everyone thinks.
