A couple of years ago, we had a Golden Retriever. He was such a good boy, but he was constantly suffering from allergies. Now, I think it was because of the second hand smoke. At the time I didn’t really pay too much attention, now that I think about it, my smoking was making him sick.
Recently I was reading an article about second hand smoke and not only pets developed allergies, they can also get cancer. Second hand smoke also contributes to coronary heart diseases and other illness.
Smoke particles get in their fur and then when they are grooming themselves the particles are ingested. Tobacco then reaches their internal organs and can do a lot of damage to them. Yes, all these are consequences of second hand smoke. It’s no coincidence Fred was always coughing and wheezing whenever I smoked.
I’ll be honest, I feel guilty that my loyal Fred had to endure all that second hand smoke; he died from heart disease.
If I had known e-cigarettes back then and if I knew what I know now about smoking, things would have been different. Perhaps Fred could have a better life, less allergies and he may have been still around. And I won’t even start in third hand smoke.
I know is hard to quit smoking. If you can’t or is very hard for you, why not give e-cigarettes a try. There’s not second hand smoke in this smokeless product.
