People unwilling to quit smoking to improve their own health may consider giving up cigarettes to spare their pets the harm full effects to passive smoking,US researchers said on Monday.Twenty-eight per cent of pet owners who smoke said in a survey they would try to quit based on knowledge that second-hand smoke could harm their dogs,cats and other pets,the researchers wrote in the journal Tobacco control.Anther 11 percent said they would think about quitting.it is not necessarily that people love their pets more than they love themselves or their children.it's just another motivating factor for people to consider quitting smoking.just fewer than 20 per cent of Americans smoke,according to the us centres for disease control and prevention.It would be hard to believe that there's any smoker who doesn't know that smoking is bad for them and the people around them.
