Pets at risk from home smoking

Their lungs are far smaller. It goes without saying. Merlin did well, although may be due to the fact that you didn't smoke in the house? It's fatal for birds, as are candles or teflon coated cookware. I feel sorry for innocent children who are subjected to 2nd hand smoke and know no different, they don't really have any say in the matter. |

Wish it were true, Truth, but I'm afraid that I did smoke in the house, in the car, and anywhere else until we started having building works done on the house at which point I smoked in the greenhouse! The best thing the Labour govt. did for me was to ban smoking in public as the worst situation for me was not being able to have a pint and a ciggie, so I stopped smoking and the ban encouraged me not to start again. |

I have been a heavy smoker all my adult life; forced to stop in January as my COPD worsened. I miss it terribly; just want to add that none of my cats ever experienced lung problems, and most made it to a respectable old age. Just for the record. |

Well done Angie for giving up I think smoking is like a lottery as far as health goes, some people get cancer, COPD, etc and some don't, same with our pets breathing in smoke I suppose. I have never been a smoker and after working as a Marie Curie nurse for 4 years I would never encourage anyone to start. |
