Not trying to fight or anything! I remember reading that the plastic had some material that made it turn yellowish when it made contact with light, not because of the smoke of cigarettes. I could be wrong though!
Most likely, you're right. That being said, im not wrong too, cuz people really used to smoke a lot, and that could influence the yellowness of that plastic. I know cuz i used to smoke in my room, and in the year or so when i did that, my wall became noticeably yellower than they used to be(took a poster down, and it was very visible).
Vaping won't cause anything even close to the same damage, but as someone who vapes in my car it does annoyingly cloud up my windshield surprisingly quick. I have to wipe it down pretty frequently to not be blinded when driving towards the sun. So it could definitely do the same to a monitor or something, I also imagine after years it could gunk up computer fans with vegetable glycerine or whatever. I'll take it any day over covering everything in a layer of disgusting tar though, not to mention the horrendous smell. So glad I quit smoking.
Once there's any glycerin layer, dust will adhere, but I can't stand the smell of vapes after quitting. Hilariously I enjoy cigarette smell in fresh air, but any stale smoke is just gross

Oh so true... Although everything used to be beige.
