Secondhand Smoke Causes Cancer in Pets

http://www.livescience.com/animals/0...s_smoking.html (I
originally found this on Yahoo.com, but the URL was too long, so I
went back to the original source... otherwise I would have used
something like tinyurl.com or snipurl.com)

PLEASE... PLEASE... PLEASE... for the love of Bast, do NOT allow this
to degenerate into an anti-smoking thread. *I* just found it
interesting that the number of scientists who've been able to
establish a link between pet cancers and second-hand smoke has jumped
quite a bit in the last couple/few years (not that I'm necessarily
surprised). If someone wants to post this in rec.pets.cats.health
+behav, be my guest, but do us all a favor and DO NOT CROSS-POST IT.
Next thing you know, someone will be on our rear-end about the
Meowchat, and that'll just lead to the flamewar to end all flamewars
(particularly because *I* won't tolerate flaming about Meowchat).

I'm glad someone is doing research on this.
