Smokers Would Stop Smoking for the Health of Their Pets

Smokers are more likely to stop smoking for the health of their pets, than for their own health.

A US survey of over 3,000 pet owners has shown that their pets’ health is a greater motivator for them to stop smoking than their own health concerns.

Of the pet owners who were told about the effects of passive smoking on their pets, almost 30% said that they would try to stop smoking so that their pets’ health wasn’t effected by passing smoking.

Many pet owning smokers don’t realise that their smoking can have a detrimental effect on their pets’ health, with many pets developing lung cancer, eye problems, respiratory conditions, skin disease and other illnesses due to second-hand smoke.

Many people who lived with smokers (but weren’t smokers themselves) also said that they would encourage their partners to stop smoking for the benefit of their pet.
