Smoking bad for pets, study shows

London (AFP) - Smoking is bad for pets too, the University of Glasgow said Tuesday, citing an ongoing study into the effects of second-hand smoke on dogs and cats.

Research under way at the Scottish institution has found that pets living in a smoky environment have a higher risk of health problems including some animal cancers, cell damage and weight gain.

pet owners don't get your pets start smoking. when dogs and cats are on the streets and pick up cigar and cigarette's butts, and eat them. they would try to smoke them, but the owners wouldn't allow carry matches. it is not healthy for the pets to smoke, either.

having dogs and cats goes bars and picking the strays on street corners for a smoke can be drag! what the hell are you talking about, twilite! aren't we talking about, how dogs and cats learning how learn get to bad habits from their pet owners to smoke. I hate when owners do that, don't you?

i got a little silly when i saw the photo in the article, i will post below.

smoking is bad for pets

this article explains finally that their evidence that now not only humans get cancer by second-hand smoke . now, animals can. post your thoughts!

Animals have lungs too.

I can't see why they needed an expensive research program to know this.
It's not rocket science.

in america, scientists have grant for research grants to just them.

years ago, there is a guy, who wrote a couple of books. how many grants that the government will give you just apply for them. the grants are free, there so much paperworks go threw nobody know about. the government are trying not to hide, and there are free.

the two books, i know about ( i forgot the name of them. ) two books of his. it has everything, you need to know get grants. it amazing how funny some grants for.

how the government will waste on grants that anything to anything do with nothing. who know why anybody does anything these days.

What the hell are you talking about Twilite?
The article and warning is about Second-Hand smoke, Not about pets smoking cigars and cigarettes.

That should still be fine for them and may even be healthy and make them feel better. Like cigarettes were for people back in the 50's and 60's!

i was joking the animals are smoking. i couldn't resist the opportunity to joke about it. i am not try to make fun about animal's health.

i was interested that fact the animals get second-hand smoke by the owners. it could a good way for pet owners, who does smoke to think twice before light up.

me too

Oops. Sorry kitties.

I'd like to know if sticking tropical fish in a blender is bad for their health.

Has anyone done a study on that?

Maybe I could petition our gov't to give me a few million dollars to conduct a study.

as funny that is, you probably can get a grant for that from the government.

the guy, who wrote those books, i was telling you about him above.

in 70's, there was commercials about a man named mark somebody, i can't remember his last name. mark was a blue or a green coats and i think hats sometimes with ? marks on them. like the riddle on tv batman.

he was standing in washington somewhere with front of stairs leading courthouse or front of lincoln memorial building in washington. where lincoln is sitting in the big chair.

mark is who was selling these books and wrote books. he make millions off these books.

I'm not surprised.
Smoking is bad for everyone.
I hate how it's still legal, and how the industry makes so much money.

smoking is bad m'kay.

why would anyone think smoking is good for pets??
