extremely doubtful that you're gonna find information pretaining *specifically* to iguanas + 2nd hand smoke!!! but really, it's a moot point ... there IS NO question that smoking is bad for you and 2nd hand smoke is bad for WHOEVER breathes it ... whether that be your kids, your dog or your ig!

the best thing to do is quit smoking ... easy to say, HARD to do ... next best input i have would be to make sure that Chuck's perch isn't *directly* in line with the smoke (don't sit directly under him + light up, etc) ... times where there's a bunch of smokers in the room at once, maybe Chuck could go hang out somewhere else for the night?? consider an air-purifier ~ my mom has one that's just miraculous ~ it works! (have to ask her what kind ... ) ... or ... set a fan up in the corner to at least kinda mocve the smoke outta the room a bit ...

another thing that will help Chuck out, is to make sure he's healthy in general ... this time o' year, he probably shouldn't be out + about for very long cuz the 70 degrees that *we* think is comfy, isn't warm enough for igs to stay healthy ... also our houses tend to be dry this time of year so make sure the air in Chuck's sleeping environment (at least) is nice + humid ~

and i *really* hope this didn't come off as preachy or anything!!!! i quit smoking (AGAIN) last week after i ended up in the hospital (AGAIN) with pneumonia ~ 2nd time in 5 months ... ... it's a scary addiction to have!
