Printers Hazardous for health?

An Australian study says that printer output can be as dangerous as cigarette smoke in some cases.

I smoke. I'm not concerned about cigarette smoke, nor am I concerned about printer smoke lol.

I smoke too, but would never start smoking printers, I hear it's addictive.

Is it dangerous to smoke a printer ?? And which printer is safer to smoke, we have a LaserJet printer that uses toner.

I've heard about this. I think that the story might have some merit but if you aren't in the print room all day I think you should be okay.

I guess it's what you breathe in over time that could be hazardous.

I think there are a ton of worse things to breathe like cigarette smoke then printer particles.

I heard toner is bad for you lungs, but you're ok if its just an inkjet.

OMG! Even printers are dangerous for health. Better to stay away from them when there are a lot of printing jobs in queue.
