Something I find interesting with my ecig n our dog

[Iwannaquit4good]

I find this totally interesting and thought I would share. I have been living with 3 Siberian Huskies for a long while now, and used to step outside to smoke. No smoking allowed in the house! Not even in the bathroom with window open Which is the only place I ever use to smoke in my house.

I will never forget hanging at the pool with the Pups and lighting up my first smoke here. Duke went nuts and about fell in the pool trying to get away from it. He looked at me like I was insane! He hide behind a lounge chair and would not come out, until the cig was smashed. Which I was then told he does this to everyone who smokes outside. I thought this was so very odd and never seen an animal react that way.

Anyhoo, Our Senior girl bless her almost 13 y/o self! and 2 y/o baby rescue girl would go right outside with me. Stand by me walk with me, no problem. I would often make sure smoke wasn't going in their face. I have always been big on keeping second hand smoke away from non smokers, children and animals. If I had no pack in hand well, Duke our 7 y/o boy would go out with us. If I had a pack or cig in hand omg, he would hide and or run away from me. If we took the 3 for a walk and I pulled out a cig and lighter, he would try to jerk off the leash to get away. It was like he knew it was bad and or hated the smell. Who knows exactly, but I have never in my life seen a dog, that so hated cigarettes so much. By the way he has been in the family since 7 weeks old and never ever abused.

So I get the ecigs a month ago now Start vaping and notice at first he is skeptical of what the heck I am doing? Why I am in the house? Why it has a light? He just stares at me from a far. Well now he sits next to me on the couch while vaping Will go outside with me vaping and has no issues what so ever with my ecig. It's awesome! Thought I would share as I think it's awesome!!!!!!

How do your pet's react to your ecigs? Have any of them ever been scared of your cigarettes or ecigs?

P.S I think I put in wrong section, if so please move. TY

Wow that is hilarious. Good thing for my dog she never acted like that. I feel you on the not in the house thing its been seven years since I was allowed to have a smoke in front of my TV.

 

[Iwannaquit4good]

Yes it really sucks when it is to cold, hot or pouring rain or snow ugh. I sometimes swear that this dog was once human! He also wants only people food and wants it on a dinner plate. He sits on couches and chairs and watches TV and is a total drama queen when he doesn't get his way LOL

 

[68stang]

That is a great story. Some times dogs seem to know a lot...its strange that way. He may have not known exactly what the cig was but it sounds something told him it was bad. Interesting

I used to smoke in only one room in the house. My dog (avatar picture) is always by my side; except whenever I smoked he would always leave the room. Now that I vape my dog never leaves my side. Dogs obviously can tell difference between smoke and vapor.

 

[ta2guy73]

Any time I would lite up a cigarette my cats would jump down off the couch and run to another room till I was done. Now every time I vape they jump up in my face trying to smell my lips..LOL I guess the like the flavor I am vaping as much as I do.

 

[dgriego]

Both my dogs have always gone outside with me, but they avoid direct smoke and make funny disgusted faces should they happen to get a wiff. With the vaping they seem to like the smell and often try and smell my face as I exhale. They never tried that when I was smoking.

 

[jlmanno]

Our lab is hilarious, we only smoked in our bedroom or outside. If in the br he used to leave the room, now he just stands or sits there with his nose up in the air to catch a wiff of the vapor, almost with a smile lol

So sweet! No pets for me, but I love dogs. I can just imagine his confused little head!

Well, I have a bird and never smoked around it and don't know about vaping around it either since they have such delicate respiratory systems. But when I went over to a relative's house last Sunday to house sit, their cat just stared at me vaping - it was entirely intrigued!

I never smoked in my house, I would always go out on the back deck. I think my dogs are sad now, because when I was smoking, they would get all excited when I went to the back door and put my coat on. My one dog would hear me pull a cigarette out of the pack and immediately run to the back door and wait for me! They would go out with me and just hang or run around the yard, sometimes I would throw the ball or we would just chill on the deck. I haven't gone out with them for the past month and I think it bums them out a little. Granted, it is February in Michigan and cold as .......! I'm sure when it warms up a little, I'll go out and vape with them and hang out on the deck again. I'm actually looking forward to it!

My min pin would go into sneezing fits when I lit up, now he sits in my lap and hangs with me. It's pretty cool.

My dog was only with us for a few weeks before I quit, but my cat has been with me for 10 years. Lucky (dog) would shy from analog smoke but not run away. Now he gets all excited when I vape, almost like it elicits a stimulant response. He loves it and starts running around like a nut. My cat used to take off like a shot when I lit up an analog. I used to mess with him by blowing smoke at the closed window he was in. Even though he could not smell the smoke, he still gave me a nasty look and jumped down. The other day I intentionally blew vapor at him (I rarely vape inside). He flinched when he saw the cloud coming, but held ground and looked surprised. He didn't flinch anymore and started sniffing at it after that. Animals are far more sensistive than we are, and I take this as strong empirical evidence that vaping is far less deadly than smoking, hands down.

My gf's parent's dog bites them if they smoke near her, and she's a timid dog! When I go over there and I'm vapping the dog doesn't give me any issues except she wont leave me alone(constantly wants my attention). I'm assuming this is because she doesn't like fire and not some animal 'sense'.

She also wont go anywhere near the dryer and barks at it from around the corner...

 

[catlvr]

I love hearing animal stories! I don't have any dogs but I have 4 cats. Three of them didn't seem to mind me smoking around them, although I tried to stay away from them while smoking. My siamese however would freak and run and hide if I even picked up a pack lol. Now he watches me vape and if the vapor gets near him he'll start to run away and gives me this wierd look while sniffing the air, like he's confused. Then he'll come sit on my lap.

 

[Katmar]

I have 3 dogs. The little one sniffs the air once in awhile. When I smoked, she gave me dirty looks. The middle one is okay until she sees the LED, then runs, thinks it must be hot!! The large one has no problems at all.
Wonderful creatures, all.

 

[BHedge]

My dog didn't like the smoke. She has allergies and it would make her sneeze, but she's small and I smoked outside so it didn't come near her. Now with vaping she feels displaced cause she's a lapdog and she doesn't like the vape. The other dog doesn't mind....but then he'll eat lint, so nothing bothers him.

 

[beecee]

My little dog would go outside with me in the morning when I smoked but wouldn't come near then we'd go back inside and lay on the bed but he wouldn't want me to touch him or put my face close to him.

Now that I vape I still go outside with him in the morning, he wants me to play with him and when we go back into the bed he crawls up right next to me.

I had an analog last week in the morning and went back to bed with him and he was like "no way!" so, I definitely know that analog smoke, even after smell, is something he cannot stand. Their sense of smell is incredible so I am not surprised...

 

[BradSmith]

My two dogs terrior and briard mixes (brothers) didn't care for me smoking at all. One would bark at me and the other would just take off and hide. They dont's seem to mind vaping at all, no reaction, well I guess they did kind of give me a goofy look, like now what is that nut job up to?

 

[shatner]

I have 3 dogs, but 1, my Catahoula leopard dog hates smoke. It used to make him sneeze and sniffle. Now, he has no breathing problems, even if I blow vapor in his direction, which is usually at my feet under the comp desk; like now.
