I always called Smoker-dust "AIDS Dust" back in my Geek Squad days. There are very few things as nasty and persistent. You know things are bad when you have to take the tower out to the Car Install Bay and blow it out with a tire hose. I try not to think about all the nice little friendly particles I inhaled working with some of those dust bins. The idea of computer "maintenance" doesn't really occur to some.

Yeah, it wasn't from smoke, the card is immaculate on the outside with now signs of smoke damage. It wasn't pet hair either, it was a fine gray dust that had just piled up in the heatsink.

I'm guessing the PC was on a carpet. I have an area rug that releases tons of fibers and my radiator looks like that after about a year. I clean it every six months now as a preventative measure.

Urine turns into ammonia after a few days. The smell alone would alert you before drinking.
