Prevention is key: keeping Max out of the second hand smoke is the best thing you can do to prevent future problems. Pets can develop the same issues as children can, including bronchitis and asthma from being in second hand smoke. There is nothing else you can do to try to prevent him from becoming ill, unfortunately.
