Passive smoking can seriously damage the health of pets like dogs and cats. Smoke irritates their respiratory systems and carries toxic and carcinogenic substances that pets ingest. Certain dogs that have flat faces have an increased risk of lung cancer if they live with a smoker. Studies have shown passive smoking can cause cancer of the nasal passages in cats and dogs. Tobacco companies also fund experiments on animals to study tobacco, but these have not provided useful insights into how smoking causes cancer in humans. Cigarette butts are a visible form of pollution that ends up in oceans and beaches, and can be ingested by animals, posing health risks. People are encouraged to quit smoking to protect their own health and that of their pets and wildlife.

6. Tobacco companies and government agencies also fund
animal experiments on tobacco.
Despite the massive amount of money invested in the animal
studies, we little know about animal cancers .
Ironically, animal experimentation has fooled many people
for years ( mice, rats, dogs and other animals do not develop
lung cancer unlike humans).

Heather Moore, PETA(People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals). "People should understand that smoking, they are
not only putting their lives in danger, but they also
contribute to the pain inflicted on animals The best way for
smokers to help animals is to drop the cigarettes for good. "

8. The cigarette butt is a visible chronic pollution. That polution
affects our oceans and coasts .
However, do not believe that our smoking beaches are solely
responsible for the pollution.
A cigarette butt thrown on the ground in the city will be also
after some days on the beach. .
This phenomenon is accentuated with smoking bans in public places,
recurring phenomenon throughout Europe.
Animals
Estimates Ocean Conservancy, the nicotine captured in 200 filters
is sufficient to kill a human being. Cigarette butt alone is likely to
pollute 500 L of water, making it unfit for consumption.
Do not forget either that these butts are also likely to be ingested
by animals.
Butts can be swallowed by animals, causing a choking hazard.
