Hello everybody!

Dogs can develop nasal cancer as a result of secondhand smoke. Not so cute.

That's interesting. I smoked for all 14 years of my German

shepherd's

life and never she never had that problem, but because she was a

large

breed dog, she was subject to hip dysplasia, which did develop. I

quit

smoking the year she died.

The carcinogens in second-hand smoke is just as real for any living
animal.
Some may be affected, some not. Just like humans. I've known people who go to
sleep with a cigarette still lit and puffin away... they have no signs of it.
We all have cancer cells, it's what triggers them. Crap shoot.. :)

I suppose so. Some people are luckier than others.

I smoked for 39 years and when I quit "cold turkey", I was up to an average of 2.5 packs per day. Running out of breath while bowling scared the you-know-what out of me. I had my lungs X-rayed the day after I quit and the doctor told me I was lucky there were no spots on my lungs and asked me to come
back in six months for another set of X-rays. I did and my lungs were clear. I considered that remarkable.

Roger
