Passive smoking and how it effects pets?

If your going to smoke in the general area, you might want to invest in a air purifier. Make sure you dont get the ion type because ozone in poorly ventilated areas is worse for animals than smoke. heppa filters work pretty good and arent all that expensive. Your best bet would be not to smoke in the room.
 
When I got my two corns they were well into adulthood...& very wheezy...

I asked at the time of buying them & He told me that they both came from a smokers home...

I smoke myself but no way in the same room as my boys... I have had them nearly 2 years & they dont wheeze now...

Just goes to show... also the fact that snakes have 1 lung too... cant be good for the little fella's

I would move either your pets to a clean fresh enviroment or the smokers to 1 smoking room away from the pets..

Lol the funny thing is we just moved all the tanks into the "smoking room" (living room) due to lack of space everywhere else. Its much easier to have everything in one room rather than darting about everywhere checking on all the different tanks in different rooms. May be easier for me, but i may have to reconsider the move due to health reasons. Animals health first, they shouldn't have to suffer because of me eh... oh now i feel all guilty and stuff :puke01: :cry:

ahh i didnt mean to make you feel bad... :)
 
I would definatly reconsider moving them...
I dont know about others but I would not let any animal go to a home where there's smoking inside; look at the damage it causes to humans. Its your choice to do that to yourself but the animals dont have that choice, and they are going to be affected by it much harder then people.

Maybe you could quit together. That is a great way of doing it. Or you could quit and then maybe your partner would be more motivated to quit. You'll be glad you did!

My dad used to smoke, A LOT. He quit 20 years ago, and since then his lungs have completely healed themselves. His doctor says there are no more signs that he ever smoked. He is so glad he quit when he did, because he may not be here today if he didn't.
 
we could, but i highly doubt if i quit it would make a difference to him... he likes his habbit, his choice, and wont quit... always been his attitude.
 
I don't even use rug freshners or air freshners around the snakes. They can be quite sensitive to inhaled chemicals and there's more than enough in a cigarette to trash just about anything. I know for a fact that second hand smoke is quite detrimental to dogs and cats living with smokers, so I'm sure that a creature with only one lung and a rudimetary heart would have some serious issues with smoke. Drugs are definitely out. Even if you don't handle the snakes under the influence, you yourself said that your partner has friends that you don't approve of doing things you don't know when you're not there. How do you know THEY won't do something under the influence when you're not there? Drugs and animals don't mix...ever!
 
Oh i well know Meg... I have seen many drug related accidents causing serious injury and even death to animals.

I am forcing him to hang out the window now :p lol
Hopefully he will get bored of the inconvience and quit :)
