Smoking & My Nose

I have sleep apnea, when I first got my air mask last year I was still smoking. I had noticed after a short time the rubber thingyies that went into the nostrils had turned color. I assumed it was just normal. This winter i had to get a new mask & nose pieces and after wearing it for 4 months it dawned on me that the nose pieces never turned brown. It was the nicotine that had collected in my nose, transfered onto the nose pieces. Now no one smokes around here, so no nicotine in the air.
