Smokers To Be Banned From Keeping Pets?

Forewarned is forearmed.

Vet Alex Gough this week told the ­Veterinary Times that passive ­smoking is not just a problem for humans. He wrote: “Current evidence ­suggests that there is a significant increased risk to our animals’ health involved with living with a smoker.”

Mr Gough, from Bath, says some critics want smokers to be banned from keeping pets even though we don’t have laws to protect children from passive smoking.

Worry not, Alex. I'm sure the lunatics will get round to proposing both sooner or later.
