Hehehe, yep I spose it's not rockNroll, but it's far less harmfull.

About your pedals, maybe compare them to exactly the same models not used in a smokie place and I'm sure you will se a difference.

I've seen curtains, walls and light switches convered with a yellowish coating from tobacco smoke. Imagine what the does to control surfaces or worse the inner working of gear!

Of course dust can cause damage too, but dust is much more easily cleaned off than tobacco gunge.

Lot's of people won't buy gigged gear for this reason too.
