I'm sure this won't be at all controversial.

This may be true but I’ve never heard of a cat dying from Ebola so there may be two sides to this story.

At first, they will be all 'concerned' and 'suggest' you don't smoke around pets (!).
Second, it will be a law.
Third, a government agency will be formed to enforce it.
Fourth and finally, a Federal SWAT team will lob flashbangs into your home and storm it with machine guns and MRAP armored vehicles, all for the dubious 'benefit' for the health of a cat.

I’ve also never heard of a cat looting an Ebola isolation ward. This is why I prefer cats to people.

But...there’s nothing in the Constitution about it, so Federal intervention would be illegal.

Since I have lived in this complex, I have seen two smokers basically kill their pets. One chain smoker had inherited his sister’s dog, and within two years after I got here, the dog died of cancer. The owner died about 10 months later of heart disease.
The other was my ex-next-door neighbor who had a cat. I watched that cat get sicker and sicker and saw her white coat look worse and worse as she slowly died of cancer. She has replaced the cat, but still chain smokes.

That much, I know. And they were never meant to smoke. No thumbs, no lips.

My beloved MaiseyJane was a year old when I adopted her. A vet asked me if anyone smoked in the home, as her lungs were not strong. No one in my house smokes, and a year after MaiseyJane moved in with us, her lungs were fine.
Point is, it took more than a year for her lungs to be clear and strong after leaving her smoking home.
