exclude smokers from warranty claims, this fact should
be advertised.

I don't think so. It would be similar to sticking the computer in the bathroom, where it is subjected to high moisture levels. The warranty and CGA covers 'normal usage'.

most likely would and should, amount to 'normal usage'.
Or, are you saying that you have the right to stop someone from smoking
in their own house?
If corporate America is going to exclude smokers from a warranty then
maybe they should tell them before they buy!!!
Or perhaps, as they get no warranty, their computer should be cheaper than
a non-smokers?

No where in the articles did it mention apple were voiding warranties because the owner was a smoker. Warranties were not honoured due to the fact the machine and been subject to toxic substances, that were caused by smoking.
