Remove cigarette smoke from an LCD screen with isopropyl alcohol.

An LCD screen provides clear, crisp visuals, but smoke film from cigarettes can obscure your viewing pleasure. As cigarette smoke settles on surfaces, it leaves a greasy film behind. Over time, as the smoke film accumulates, the LCD screen may appear dark and hazy. Removing the cigarette smoke from the screen requires using a cleaning agent that cuts through the film, allowing it to be wiped away.
