Dear All, Just had to add my two pennorth here. I've been a smoker on and off for years. I most emphatically do NOT like smoking around the ferrets. If they are in the same room, it will affect them. If they are in the same house, dependent on size, it may affect them. The safest thing is to ask smokers to smoke outside. That goes for your lungs too Stephanie.

There's also a negative side." -Hunter S. Thompson- [Posted in FML issue 5027]
