Secondhand and Thirdhand Smoke and Pets

Healthy Androscoggin aims to enhance the capabilities of animal welfare personnel by offering comprehensive training sessions focused on the profound effects of secondhand and thirdhand smoke on pets. This initiative encompasses the development of a widespread health communication campaign, employing both printed materials and mass media platforms. This campaign will educate pet owners and individuals engaged in pet care and welfare about the potential hazards linked to secondhand and thirdhand smoke exposure in pets. Efforts will extend to heightening awareness regarding the avenues available for pet owners to quit their tobacco use through the utilization of Maine QuitLink.
