Apple "refuses to repair smokers' Macs"

Article: http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/353512/apple-refuses-to-repair-smokers-macs

The article seems to focus on Apple's side of the story which is smoking leads to cancerous residues in the computer and they don't want our workers dealing with any hazards. I can see their point of view but I'm more focused on the smoker's rights in this case. I just see this as another effort to stamp out smokers socially. Aside from that, this is a consumers' rights question., if a customer has suitable warranty, it should be honored. Apple cannot refuse service to a customer without making him or her aware and consent to any changes in warranty policies. Consumers have rights too.
