Iguanas and Cigarette Smoke, long term effects?

Posted by Mark on January 19, 2001 at 12:45:54:

OK, first of all, NO my Iguana doesnt smoke!! But I do, and so does my roommate. Has anyone ever seen any studies done on the effects of second hand smoke pertaining to Iguanas? I have been wondering about this, since Chuck mostly hangs out in my living room on his perch, and that is the room where people are most often found smoking a cigarette.

My opinion is it most likely will have the same long term effects on an iguana as it would on a person. But, due to the size of an Iguana's lungs, it may be even more severe.

If anyone else has any input, I would love to hear it. I know I can't be the only one with this concern...
