Is it safe to smoke next to your dog?

I don't know the answer to that. Whether it's safe, but I would assume dogs are just as partial to cancers as we are.
I smoke, but 90% of my cigarettes are either smoked outside, away from my dogs, or inside away from dogs.
I hate having them around smoke. It's MY choice to put myself around smoke and I just don't see it as fair to force them to be around it too.

I have to agree with M&M's Mommy!!!! It's not safe to smoke at all because you get lung cancer and when you get older it makes it hard to breath!
Well I am in the 8th grade and doing a science class that says second hand smoke only affects you very very little not enough to make you have a chance of getting lung cancer.
But I would advise you not to smoke around your dog anyway!

I have noticed that my pups would be congested and have slight fevers while visiting my mom who used to smoke...after leaving I noticed that would clear up and and go away.
I did see that ciggarett manufacturers were adding more nicotene. Its just sick to see how these companines can get away this stuff.

I do not like smoke near my dog ever.
No one in my household smokes and if I am out in public and someone sits next to me smoking, I take my dog and move.
I agree smoking next to your dog is the same as smoking next to a child.
If you smoke and are planning to get a dog, please be willing to smoke outside your home so that your dogs do not have the smoke on them. You bathe everyday (I hope...lol) Your dog cant, so the smoke will be on them a lot longer and they will often injest it when they lick themselves.
You could always quit before you get the pup
Good Luck

A friend of one of our neighbors thought it would be funny to blow smoke in Shiva's face one night. He stopped laughing when she lunged at his face with her teeth bared She had no intention of actually biting him (trust me, if she had, he'd have been bitten!), but she sure enjoyed scaring the hell out of him . . . she can, after all, put someone's entire face in her mouth

For you or for the dog? Cuz it probably wouldn't be safe to smoke near your dog if he was covered in case or had been rolling in laundry lint but otherwise it's probably safe for you...
Steve smokes in the house He didn't for the first two years of our relationship but then the Alberta winters froze him out ... so he says ... But the dogs won't go near him when he's smoking. They don't like the smoke or the lighter/match

I agree with ALL of the above !!! Yes , I smoke and have for over 50 years ... I am now more aware of second hand smoke . I've only had one dog with lung cancer .... many years ago .....from our smoking ?? Who knows . I was brought up breathing in asbestos dust for 20 years ... then smoked ... and yet I'm here at 73. Kids who start today are nuts !!! Don't start !! Quit if you can!!! If not for your health and others for the expense !! I'm a good one to preach !!!
I think smokers are well aware of this fact.
I don't smoke, never will. I don't mind smokers, but I would throw anyone out of my house who had the gall to do it INSIDE my home. I think it's unfair, unnecessary, and borderline cruel to smoke cigarettes around animals. It's best if you smoke outside, IMO.

We don't smoke around our dogs. We shouldn't smoke at all it is disgusting and dangerous, but the sad fact is at this point in time we do, but not around them. Plus, once we did and then we all came inside and you could smell it on their fur. That freaked me out so we stopped after that.
I think it's the same as smoking around your child. I.e. BAD.
