[Gpdd] Care: Smoking and Piggys

[Algernon07 at aol.com]

     The piggies should be taught from early on not to take up smoking. Be 
careful of people who might influence them in the wrong direction     ;)

     That said,   I don't object to someone very occasionally smoking one or 
2 cigarettes in my living room, the room where my piggies are housed. But 
that's it. It's not hard to enforce since almost no one wants to smoke around me. 
They're afraid for my lungs and afraid for themselves. The presence of 02 in 
the living room definitely discourages smoking.    (KaBoom!)   Not that it ever 
discouraged me.

     I think that as long as the piggies aren't exposed to a lot of smoke, 
and the exposure is brief, and there's not a smoker right next to them, it's 
probably ok.

     For a long time after my official cigarette "quit" I occasionally (shame 
on me) had a cigarette. Maybe 2. Or even3. 

      But once I had piggies, I'd find myself rightly wondering about those 
tiny little piggy lungs, and their little livers that help clean toxins from 
their bodies. God forbid that I hurt them in some unintentional way. You can 
guess the rest. I've been totally smoke free for a long time. Many thanks and 
credit to my buddies, the delightful Jolly Rodents!

Good luck,
Alge and the Jolly Rodents
