Cigarette smoke can have a harmful effect on the blood vessels in the eyes leading to irritation.

Smoke can injure the sensitive lungs in a pet. In addition, the harmful fumes can produce a cold that can cause other grave, life-threatening conditions in your pet.

Because animals have a brief esophagus than man smoke inhalation rapidly irritates the pet’s throat.

A cat's hair constantly gathers generous quantities of smoke particles just like rugs, furniture and clothes. The cat takes in these condensed particles from his fur and skin while grooming which produces lymphoma in the nasal cavities and intestines in addition to the chest.

Pets can be allergic to smoke also.
