In a study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, researchers link environmental tobacco smoke to oral cancer in cats that lick toxins from smoke residue from their fur when grooming themselves.
Why you can't smoke around animals
Dogs exposed to second-hand smoke are 1.6 times more likely to have lung cancer than dogs from non-smoking households.
Just like cats, dogs sometimes lick and bite their fur, as a result of which toxins and carcinogens deposited on the skin from smoke enter their bodies.
Serious harm to the body is caused by nicotine and tars released when smoking.
Dogs that constantly inhale tobacco smoke may experience heavy breathing, cough, and become prone to lung diseases.
Second-hand smoke can cause respiratory diseases in your four-legged friends, including chronic asthma and bronchitis.
It should be remembered that a cat's olfactory organs are much more sensitive to odors than humans.
You should not smoke while in the same room as a cat.
The smell of e-liquids can be very tempting to a hungry dog or curious cat, and your pet may soon break the device and cause serious harm to itself.
This can lead to poisoning or damage to the mouth or stomach from broken glass.
