Think of the little ones

Concern for the defenseless little ones in peoples' homes when the smoking ban goes into effect this summer. Smoke Ban Is A Threat To Pets:

Millions of pets are at risk from the smoking ban being made law in England in less than two month's time, an insurance firm has warned.

Unable to light up in pubs and restaurants from July 1, more smokers will puff more cigarettes at home, says More Than.

And that means putting pets at more risk of secondhand smoke, it claims.

Yes, it does. More pets are going to be at risk! We need a new animal charity to lobby for pets' right to a smoke-free environment. Something about this is niggling at me though. What could it be...? Oh, there it is on the last line of the article:

There are also fears that children could suffer if people stay at home to smoke and drink, instead of going to pubs.

Right, I forgot about those little guys.

[ Trivia: Did you know that in the UK, people give more money to animal charities than to children's charities? ]
