Does Smoking Interfere With The Radiation Treatment?
I going to be starting radiation and chemo soon. I currently smoke and know that smoking can interfere with the radiation treatments. I was wondering is switching to a non-tobacco form of smoking such as vaping or herbal cigarettes with no nicotine would be viable during treatment?
