Speaking from experience, smoke detectors actually do save lives, Lack. Maybe not mine, maybe not tonight, but they actually do save lives. You can throw yours away, and statistically, you're right, you'll probably wake up tomorrow just fine. But the same is true for seat belts, SkilSaw blade protectors, and other safety devices. They're kind of a pain in the arse until you need one, then you're really glad you had it.
The cheepie $10-15 smoke detector units, with a GOOD BATTERY, seem to cause lots fewer problems than the more expensive hard wired models.
Aloha! ;-)
