Pets can develop respiratory problems but to get cancer they would need a long exposure to cigarette smoke over years. It usually takes about 10 years to develop cancer in a highly addicted smoker who is exposed to a lot more smoke. Animals usually dont live long enough to be effected directly by lung cancer. Also smoke rises so its hard to say how much they really inhale.
