The previous owners of our house smoked for 15 years, and I don't think they 
ever vacuumed.  You can guess how nasty that was.

My folks have asbestos tile in their kitchen.  The general ruling is that it's a
non-friable asbestos, and is thus safe if it's not damaged or badly disturbed,
so I'd imagine that with the floating pergo you're more than safe.
