What are the consequences of smoking while taking penicillin, nexium, and acetaminophen/codeine??


Question: i want to smoke and im taking a variety of medications because i just recently had my wisdom teeth removed. the medications im on are penicillin, nexium, and acetaminophen/codeine, is it bad to smoke while taking these and what are the risks i'd be taking if i smoked?
Answers: smoking does not have a drug interaction. the reason you should'nt smoke is because nicotine thins the blood and could cause excessive bleeding- also the inhaling/exhaling motion can cause a dry-socket.which is VERY PAINFUL. if you absolutely cannot abstain- try packing several pieces of gauze over the extraction sites and smoke only enough to satisfy your craving.
You risk getting a dry socket. That's all (except the usual lung cancer). If you suck hard and pull out a clot, you are going to SCREAM in pain. Don't do it, or if you must, take tiny little drags and be careful.
May I ask you---WHY do you want to smoke ...?

Is is bad to smoke while taking/eating ANYTHING. I quit 9 years ago, and there's not enough room here, & you don't have the time for me to tell you how much better I look, how much better I smell, how much better my breath is, how little I have to be concerned about ---now that I CHOOSE not to smoke. So, (knowing all this & probably more)....WHY would you want to smoke?
The more you smoke the more medicines you would be taking....

So if you are so much taking care of the Pharmaceutical Companies for selling their medicines then you can keep on smoking and if you take care about your own body then better quit smoking
