Because dogs and cats tend to age more quickly than humans, the cancerous affects settle in quickly, raising fatality rates even more.
Another risk for animals is actual cigarettes and cigarette butts. Many curious dogs will eat cigarette butts right out of the ashtray, causing nicotine poison.

The body has a natural defense against cells like that, humans including animals have a protein called P53...this protein is responsible for terminating a mutated cell. However, the chemicals in cigarettes inhibit this protein, therefore, nothing stops the mutated cells from multiplying.
New studies suggest that third hand smoke is as dangerous as secondhand smoking. Mainly because the chemical stay on the cloths and make their ways to our bodies.
What you can do for you and your kitty, if you feel that you are getting secondhand smoke is buy a portable ventilator. They are not big in size, you can put it in your apartment.
Here is just one of them: http://www.diytrade.com/china/4/products/4798559/Portable_ventilator_8_10_12.html

A study by Bertone, Snyder, and Moore had shown that second-hand smoke seems to significantly place cats at greater risk for the development of malignant lymphoma. (Cats that live in households that in which a pack or more of cigarettes are smoked daily had a threefold increase in risk.)

Thank you for your response, however, it's not very helpful. It's my fault though, let me provide a little more information. My cats live in my room, while the smoking (cigarettes) occurs down the hall in my roommate's room (I don't smoke). My apartment smells like an ashtray, but for the most part my bedroom is okay (my window stays open, the vent and door stays closed.) Despite my precautions, I know there is still secondhand smoke in my room so I'm looking for information on the effects of secondhand cigarette smoke on cats (or more generally pets).
