Adoption refused because of smoking

[lizbud]

This isnt a question of whether or not you as a person like/dislike smoking. It is a question of whether or not people should be turned down to adopt a dog just because they smoke!

I don't think anybody is listening. The thread has morphed.Too bad
really. In a perfect world, nobody would smoke and all dogs would have
loving homes. We are far from perfect. It's a fact that every time a person
is born in America, so are 15 dogs and 45 cats. That's far to many for the
number of available homes. Humane societies should use any and all chances
to help place dogs who will love & care for them.

That shouldn't be a problem to any rescuer who is prejudiced against smokers as the majority swear that smokers stink so bad they can tell they're a smoker from 20 feet away!

I'm anti smoking but there are a lot of people I know who smoke but you can't smell it on them...unless they just had one.
One colleague who used to work at our place and smoked quite a lot informed me one day that her husband didn't know she was a smoker. I was quite surprised that he didn't know and that it was secret although I must admit she didn't smell of smoke. She knew he'd go mad if he found out. She chewed sugar free gum all the time to prevent the smokey breath and he obviously never smelt it on her clothes.
I read up not long back too some article where loads of people smoke and hide it successfully from their partners....!!!
