I was wondering about the effects of second hand smoke on our pets.  Is
there any research done on this.  I am a big time smoker, but since I
had a hedgehog develop cancer tumors and had to be put to sleep, I have
been worried.
 
Does anyone know?  I keep my ferrets in my bedroom/workroom with me.
With the windows, shut due to heat am afraid they are getting too much
second hand smoke.  I removed my bird and the other hedgehog due to
this.  I love my fuzzy babies.  And if that means going outside to have
a cigarette then I will.
 
Thanks for any advice on this.  But please just advice, don't put me down
cause I smoke.  I have a lot of things going on right now and I just
can't give it up.  But petting a fuzzy instead of smoking is always more
fun.  I always put mine out if a little comes around to be loved.
