Pet and Owner Smoking Habit

Looking for a reason to quit smoking? The effects of smoking are widely known. It is a fact that smoking causes heart disease, strokes and contributes to a lot of cancers. in lifetime smokers will die from their habit. Fundamentally, smoking inevitably leads to death. It is that simple. What is not as widely known is that smoking can also harm your pets as well. In fact, individuals who smoke could be putting their pets as risk of getting cancer.

Regrettably, your cat may be most in danger of the developing a preventable disease from your smoking habit. That can create Catlike Lymphoma and Oral Cancer from your brand new smoke. Since felines often groom themselves diligently, felines in smoking households can lick up carcinogens that have been deposited on their fur. Every day grooming over a long timeframe can expose the delicate skin in the mouth to unsafe amounts of carcinogens causing Oral Cancer. In addition, the lymph nodes filter the blood, inhaled or ingested carcinogens can build up in these structures, causing Catlike Lymphoma. This type of cancer kills out of every felines every year.

These days, pets mean more to some than kids. They are very loyal and ask for nothing but love in return. Americans spent 34 billion dollars last year to indulge our most beloved pets, while ignoring an overwhelming preventable issue. If your health and the health of the others around you can not persuade you to quit the disagreeable habit perhaps your helpless furry companion can.

Man's best mate is not out of harms way either. In canines, brand new smoke may cause Nasal Sinus Cancer and in more serious cases Lung Cancer. A study at Colorado State found a higher incidence of nasal cavity tumors in canines exposed to brand new smoke than in canines that live in non-smoking households.
