Smoking bad for pets, study shows

Smoking bad for pets, study shows



While attending the 10 th Annual Congress of  the International Radiation Protection Association held at Hiroshima  in May 2000, I was intrigued to note that  at the end of every session a few delegates were rushing to a room at  the further end the building. I thought that they were going there to collect some complimentary items such as ball pens, key chains etc from vendors of radiation equipment. I was wrong. They were rushing to the "Smoking room". They were specialists in estimating  risks! They did not care where it mattered.



It did not surprise me. Many radiation safety professionals  were addicted to smoking. A few of them abstained when they suffered clearly identifiable diseases associated with smoking. During the 60s and the 70s they listened to the budget speeches  of  the finance ministers mostly to figure out the tax proposals on cigarettes!



They knew that about fifty percent of smokers will die of it. Presently, the figure is more. Do they care about the pets when they do not care about themselves and their kids!
