If you’re a cat owner with a tobacco habit, your pet is twice as likely to develop cancer as a result of second-hand smoke, according to a new video from the Truth Initiative.
The video from the USA-based anti-smoking organisation, named #CATmageddon, seeks to unite pet lovers around the world, and shows how pets such as cats and dogs that live in households that smoke traditional tobacco products are at risk from the same diseases that cigarettes cause in humans.
Using humour to convey a very serious message, the campaign’s name comes from the worrying epidemic of pets suffering because of their owner’s habits, and has already received over 2 million views on YouTube. Watch Truth Initiative’s video below to see how they are appealing to animal lovers in a bid to reduce the number of tobacco smokers.
