This must have been sent just to get everyone going (like me)!
Anything that has spent a long time in a smoking environment radio related
or not reeks of smoke smell and you can feel the yellow slime when you touch
it. Everything in my Aunt's house had to go to the dump after she passed
away after smoking for most of her life of lung cancer.
I for one want to know if the used gear I am buying is from a smoking
environment.

Unless a rig is a tube-type, whether it is owned by a smoker or
non-smoker is a moot point.
It's high voltage that attracts smoke particles into the rig, same as
with an "electrostatic precipitator" used in home HVAC.
The only things left with high voltages are (vacuum tube) amplifiers,
and the occasional CRT-style computer monitor (which shouldn't be used
in an HF ham shack anyway due to RFI.) Anything else is not going to be
distinguishable as having been owned by a smoker or non-smoker.
