Are you a smoker? Need some motivation to stop smoking? Have you got pets? Then that much loved pet is your reason to quit smoking and Hypnosis can help! Researchers have shown that pets are affected by passive smoking or in other words second-hand smoke. Cats exposed to cigarette smoke are more likely to have feline lymphoma than those that live in healthier environment. The danger keeps on growing with the period of exposure. With multiple smokers in the house the rate grows even more; up to four times if two smokers are present. There are 60% risks of canines residing in a smoking family developing lung cancer. Living with smokers predisposes long nosed canines like Greyhounds to twice as much danger of developing nose cancer. All types and kinds of pets are affected irrespective of their size and age. However, the very young, the very small and the very old are more liable to the injurious effects of second-hand smoke. Passive smoking adds to a lot of pet illnesses as when the smoker exhales; the air is filled with injurious smoke. Cigarette smoke can have a deleterious effect on the blood vessels in the eyes leading to irritation. Smoke can injure the vulnerable lungs in a pet. In addition, the toxic fumes can lead to a cold that can cause other grave, life-threatening conditions in your pet. As animals have a shorter esophagus than humans smoke inhalation rapidly irritates the pet’s throat. A cat's hair endlessly gathers generous amounts of smoke particles just like rugs, furniture and clothes. The cat takes in these concentrated particles from his fur and skin while grooming which triggers lymphoma in the nasal cavities and intestines in addition to the chest. Pets can be allergic to smoke too. The stink of cigarette smoke is very unpleasant for pets more so for they have a keen sense of smell. Allergic conditions like asthma, bronchitis etc can be precipitated by breathing in second hand smoke. So even though you may be unsure about calling a Hypnotherapist to help you quit smoking, you should seriously consider Hypnosis the next time you smoke, because think of the poison you are forcing into your adorable best friend.
