If you are smoking and an animal breathes it in does it risk their chance of getting lung cancer, heart disiese or any other illness that humans can get from second hand smoke ?

smoke is smoke and lungs are lungs, sad thing is there lungs are much smaller so they get it worse

I've often thought this, my poor dog has breathed my smoke in all his life and at 15 he seems ok. My mums dog had cancer but it was a tumour on his liver or something not lung cancer. I've never heard of an animal with lung cancer, if it was a factor I'm sure every animal rights activist would be on every smokers case.

second hand smoke is worse on humans than the smokers themselves in some cases and yes it can affect animals if they are around the smoke.

Despite the difference in the species, and limited research, the indications are that animals can get such cancers and disease. All animals are susceptible to cancererous effects.

simply put... yes.
second-hand smoke has the same effects on animals as it does on people.
