Ferret Friends has adopted a policy, for the sake of the ferret's health, of not adopting to persons where someone smokes in the house. I would like to know how other shelters deal with this. It is not easy to tell potential adoptors that their habit will compromise the ferret's health. I recently watched one of ours go downhill from lymphoma after living with smoke for a couple years.
