I'd rather lick my own ass than live in a smoky hellhole, but I shower often.

You forget, cats have lungs, too.

I have a cat and when I used to smoke (inside) his eyes would blink a lot and water and he'd press his face against the window screen.  He's an indoor only cat so I mostly smoked outside, but I often smoked inside, too.

It clearly affected him negatively.  It's no longer an issue.

I have a theory about submissives and cats...I believe that since submissives are obviously so starved for rejection that they have discovered the mother load of dander ridden indifference to tap into. Just another source to show it's complete indifference to their miserable existence on this planet.

Cat's are vile animals...Smoke in front of them? How about putting them all in a smoker?

Smokers shouldn't be allowed to smoke around anyone as it has been shown to be unhealthy. I quit smoking about 15 years ago and have become sensitive to any cigarette smoke around me ...the city I live in has very strict laws about this and the newest law they passed last year is this one:

"Effective September 9, 2010, the smoke‐free areas at multi‐unit residential properties now also include a 25‐foot radius around all doors, windows, and vents. This includes private balconies, patios, porches, and decks within the 25‐foot radius. 
 
The law already covered all “common” areas accessible to and usable by more than one unit, such as common walkways, play areas, parking lots, and gardens."

Now, the lady below me smokes on her balcony on and off and I always have my windows open and I can smell it when she does this but I never have complained.... I can only smell it for a few minutes each time or maybe I get used to the smell after a few minutes.

Well, I just looked it up "hunky"  and maybe where you live it is that way, but in the whole united states at this point in time it is only about 23-25 percent..wow that is a good statistic overall as it used to be much higher! I think anyone who sees a parent die from a stroke after smoking their whole life will quit smoking in an instant...well I hope it would be that way.

Hmmm,.. well I think it depends on what a person is smoking, dont you?

I dont smoke cigs or pot but dam if the smell of pot being smoked doesnt turn me on!!!

Gee, I remember once a co-worker came in from his coffee break and he smelled of pot. Well, I just dont know what came over me but i kissed him, couldnt help myself. Then I took him home and banged him all night... Whew!
Unfortunately he had to go and spoil it all by getting all romantic and buying me roses the next day and wanting me to run off with him.... sorry bud, it was a one time thing and I was under the influence and not in control of my actions!...

So maybe some cats are like me and like the smell of pot being smoked???

I have a kitty, she has bad allergies, her eyes get crusty and weep. She is an old girl, so it hasn't completely impacted her health, but I have noticed it gets worse in spring. I can imagine cats are allergic to ciggies just like we are... some more sensitive than others

Aww, I don't like cats and even I think that's sad. I would probably have to smoke away from him too. I hate to see any animal suffer, even cats.
