aircraft components and nicotine/tar

Can anyone provide me with any on-line sources of the effects of cigarette smoke on aircraft components.
Not so much now, but when smoking was the norm in passenger aircraft I well remember problems caused with nicotine/ tar etc. For instance nicotine restricting the pressure bungs where cable runs exit the pressurised cabin. Some instruments being clogged up, outflow valves.
I need to provide an on-line cite to prove to someone that these things can happen.
Thanks.
