My cat coughs. Is it from my smoking? Could it be cancer or COPD?

Question

I smoke around my cats daily, I was unaware of the effects smoking could have on them. They have developed a cough and it's not a cough like they would have with a URI, could it be possible that my cat could have cancer? COPD? or some type of problem associated with cigarette smoke? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 5 years old | 10 lbs

Respiratory and cardiac diseases may be responsible for this chronic cough and must be differentiate/diagnosed and treat properly. A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Radiographs of the chest will be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
