Many animals get cancer just like humans do, but there are a few mysterious species that rarely develop it.... A few animals don't seem to get cancer very often, or at all. Understanding why could help us treat it, or even prevent it.....

In the last 10 years, I have had 4 dogs pass on. Two from cancer, lymphoma. One old age. And one had a heart attack or something.
No smoking here.
___________________
I smoke. 5 dogs in 40 years and several cats. Only one dog, the pet store buy, developed cancer at age 9. Three dogs died of old age (12-13) or stupidity (beagle chased a racoon onto thin ice and drowned). One cat just keeled over outside at around 10 years old. One lived to be 19, the present one is 19 and going strong. Present dog is 3+ and healthy.
I am skeptical about 2nd hand smoke. As to 1st hand smoke, I’m nearly 73 and just fine. DH is 64+, doesn’t smoke and is fine. We both had parents who smoked.

Video that brings home your point. http://youtube.com/watch?v=OOgd9hitEAE
Not suitable for some work environments, but you won’t need eye bleach. Matter of fact, some parts may serve as eye bleach, to help recover from the Hillary posts.
