Unless you are smoking wile using Teflon or have a naked flame near by 
as the Teflon we use is very light and stays in the air.  The end of a 
lit cigarette is 400 deg C (or 752 deg F) and higher when drawing. Wile 
those who do smoke should not in the clients home, they may smoke in 
their own workshop. They  should take care as smoking is bad without 
adding Teflon.

All the best for  2013



Kind regards

Barrie
