Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

Dogs have sensitive noses and a strong sense of smell, and the smoke can be irritating to them. It could be potentially so irritating that the dog reacts aggressively. Owners should never smoke in front of or around dogs as they can susceptible to the damaging effects of second hand smoke. I hope this helps.
