Smoking in car bad for detector?

[MEM-TEK]

I occasionally smoke cigars in the car. Is this bad for my detector?

I smoke cigarettes in my car all the time, but I do crack my window and put my fan on medium plus full vent drawing in outside air. I would dare to say that heavy pollen buildup on electronics would be more damaging than tobacco smoke since pollen is acidic enough to etch glass and corrode electronics.

Just quit smoking and you wont have to worry about. Ever see someone dying of cancer?

He asked if the smoke damages his detector. He didn't ask for a lecture on why he should quit.

Well hold on now, I mean the whole POINT of a radar detector is to avoid tickets, isn't it?

I think losing a lung is more expensive than a whole lot of tickets, and hence the more significant smoking-in-the-car-related problem here...

That's not what he asked though. Plus I'm sick of non smokers bullying up on smokers. They gave you the whole airplane, they gave you the whole restaurant, will you please stop *****ing at them now?

I used to smoke "Rillos" and smoke out of "Waterpipes" daily multiple times a day and have not noticed any problems... Just watch out for excess heat... that goes along way!

X2 and I haven't had any problems...yet...

One of the main reasons airliners do not allow smoking is because the smoke damages/weakens the structure.

LMAO, damages the airframe. I am sure it has nothing to do with the other passengers. I guess maybe if you set the aircraft on fire it would.
I suppose this is the reason restaurants don't allow smoking is it damages the building.
I might add that I do smoke, although I don't smoke in my vehicle, in my home or around other people unless its outside. And yes I do know it is bad for me, thats why I make sure to drink beer with it, washes away the bad residue,, LOL,, JK

no smoking on an airplane is a good idea honestly, people are stupid, REALLY REALLY STUPID, would you want some moron causing some **** to start on fire at those altitudes? :P, probably not

now in a restaurant i wouldn't care if someone idiot started it on fire, i'd be gone, that being said

i've smoked around basically every electronic i've owned, never had an issue, for the car, do what everyone does/has suggested, crack your window, and you are all set

that being said, ANYONE telling anyone else about smoking should shut up, i mean really, is there ANYONE in this world that smokes, and honestly doesn't realize it's bad for them?, do non-smokers really think us smokers think it's great for our health or something? :P, shut the **** up and let us do what we want

[end rant]

summary, crack your window your fine

LOL.

You only have a problem if you find your RD smoking crack one day.
