study from Colorado State University brought to light that dogs with long snouts presented with nasal cancer, after exposure to secondhand smoke, more frequently than dogs in a smoke free environment. Unfortunately these dogs most often died within twelve months. Short nosed and medium nosed dogs had greater instances of respiratory cancer. Cats with flat faces also present with respiratory cancer after being exposed to a smoking environment.

Felines residing in a home of smokers get cancer of the lymph nodes one hundred percent more often than cats living with nonsmokers. Seventy-five percent of cats die within 1 year after getting this disease.
