Can second-hand smoke from another room harm my chihuahua's health?

The smoke can travel throughout the house even if you smoke beside the kitchen hood, and there is the potential Heisenberg can come into the kitchen while you are smoking and get exposure there. Cigarette smoke isn't good for dogs, so to be safe, I'd recommend smoking only outside. Best of luck!

Of course it is harmful, dog's lungs are a lot smaller than ours so any smoke is dangerous to them especially when in a confined space. Repeated exposure to cannabis is also unlikely to be good for the dog's brain. I would get your boyfriend to smoke out the window if he must, or ask him to refrain completely in your home.

Prevention is key: keeping Max out of the second hand smoke is the best thing you can do to prevent future problems. Pets can develop the same issues as children can, including bronchitis and asthma from being in second hand smoke. There is nothing else you can do to try to prevent him from becoming ill, unfortunately. Here is some more information you may find helpful: http://www.petmd.com/blogs/thedailyvet/dr-coates/2014/june/risks-second-hand-smoke-dogs-and-cats-31821

Dogs should never be exposed to secondhand marijunana smoke regardless of whether or not they have heart failure. Dogs have very sensitive lungs, and the smoke can damage them. Given that your dog already has heart failure, there will be damage to his lungs from fluid build up, and he should not be exposed to anything that could make his lungs more damaged.

Great question! Yes, it is bad to smoke around dogs. A number of studies have indicated that animals face health risks when exposed to the toxins contained in secondhand smoke. If you are going to smoke, I would go outside to prevent Layla for having contact with secondhand smoke. Best of luck.

If Mika has asthma, bronchitis, or some other chronic respiratory condition, then this could be aggravated by exposure to the cigarette smoke. But if she's healthy with no pre-existing issues, I would not expect a few days of secondhand smoke exposure to cause any significant problems.

No, smoking one cigarette around Bruno will not cause him lung cancer. As I mentioned in a previous question you asked about this same topic, he would have to be exposed to high levels of environmental tobacco in order for that to occur, such as smoking multiple times a day in the home with him right by your side. Smoking one cigarette outside will not give him lung cancer. I personally don't smoke, never have, but if you want to have a smoke, then I suggest leaving Bruno in your home while you have one outdoors.
