Smoking is Harmful to Your Pets (LINK)

Really Long Link
While much is often said about the dangers of direct smoking and the harmful effects of secondhand smoke exposure to humans, there is also evidence that dogs, cats, and other pets are also adversely affected.
Smoking around horses is a bit of bug of mine. Apart from safety issues with so much flammable material in stables, there is the issue of second hand smoke. I often see stablehands leading a horse with a cigarette under the nose of a horse and when you realise how sensitive their sense of smell is, it is something if they could speak you may find they would use several expletives to let you know how offensive this is.
Just because our animals don't complain, doesn't mean it doesn't have an adverse effect on them. The included link gives some simple information.
If you are a smoker, the essential oils of orange, clary sage and ylang ylang are often a good support when you try to give up. Simply place a couple of drops of each on a tissue and tuck in in yout top pocket or bra, and sniff through the day when you crave a suck on one of these little toxic timbombs.
