Are common pets like cats and dogs affected by second hand smoke like humans are? Or does it not have any impact on them?

Pretty much this, although if you live in a large city you take in more carcinogens just walking around than you do in a smoking section.

Well when I interviewd my dog about it , he said thataside from not liking the smell of cigarette smoke, it also affects him just as much as a human being would be.

It also affects them by making their coat smell like smoke, just like it makes their smoking masters stink.

I beleive there are studies that have shown dogs cannot get lung cancer. I'm sure the smoke has some adverse effects, but nothing drastic has been shown to occur.

No animals like to get stoned off weed when you go out of the house.

Well obviously they have lungs and can breathe. But animals do not get a lot of diseases and health conditions that humans get, so you never know.
