Protect EVERY member of your family from secondhand smoke.

• Dogs have a 60% greater risk of developing lung cancer in smoking households
• Cats, whose owners smoke, are three times as likely to develop lymphoma – the most common feline cancer
• Birds who are exposed to secondhand smoke are more like to develop respiratory problems such as coughing and wheezing

Animals don’t just inhale smoke, the smoke particles are also trapped in their fur and ingested when they groom themselves with their tongues.

What can you do?

 
Homes should be smokefree for people and pets. If anyone smokes in the home ask them to go outside. To prevent poisoning, put away cigarettes and butts. Best of all it may persuade you to stop smoking.
