Pets- Yet another reason to not smoke. - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

It was always in the back of my head when I was smoking, what I was doing to my dogs & cats. It is one thing killing myself but what right did I have to damage their health? Being typical animals they insist on being by your side 24/7.
I share my home with six dogs & two cats- I feel bad for the smoking I exposed them to in the past. I will never expose them to it again.
This is a picture of three of them- Moe, Curly & Larry.

I noticed something else about these guys from my drinking days. When I used to go out to the kitchen to get a drink Moe would always follow. (the brown dog) He has a VERY expressive face & when he thinks he might get a treat he gets a funny look on his face & scrunches his brow in concentration. Whenever I grabbed the Vodka bottle he instantly lost the "look", hung his head and went back to the living room. It never failed.

I gave up smoking for 7 years because of a kitten i rescued, will stop for good again soon...you are so right, in fact second hand smoke is worse than the smoker's lungful!!!
