Statutory Warning: Cigarette Smoking is Injurious to Health and your MAC

Your cigarette packet could soon read – ‘Statutory Warning: Cigarette Smoking is Injurious to Health and your Apple Mac’ – hah.

It’s crazy but it is true – the warranty on your Apple Mac could get void if you or people around you are smokers. I was shocked to read this article on the Consumerist website but having read the same, I felt that these Americans can get away with anything – at the cost of consumers.

If Apple feels that what they have done is correct by refusing to repair macs sold to some smokers, then they should have created some sought of awareness regarding this. A major percentage of people buying macs are smokers and no one in their right frame of mind could have ever imagined that such small print exists in their warranties.

I wonder whether the same rule applies to the Ipods, Iphones and the rest of the Apple range – if yes, then I can foresee Apple losing a big chunk of their sales. If any of you have a clue, please do not forget to post in the comments section of this article.
