Cnet said Apple stores and repair centers refused to accept repair of cigarette smoke-infected Mac computers because of the nicotine-contaminated hardware components found in cigarette smoke. This chemical is classified by the US National Workers' Health Safety Committee as hazardous chemicals that endanger workers. Therefore, Apple will not allow their employees to repair those " poisoned " machines.
Disgruntled, the two users with the smoke-rejected Macs filed a lawsuit against Apple. They took the reason that the terms and conditions of use recorded on the Apple Care coupon that they bought did not mention the above conditions as given by Apple. According to Cnet , Apple currently has no official information about this incident.
