It's called "watching cable TV for more than 15 minutes."

It is always good practice to wear a mask whenever ANY material that produces a fine dust is machined whether it be metal, plastic or wood. Smokers may also be more susceptible to dust/fume environments. Anything that gets into your lungs is a foreign substance and doesn't belong there.
