Is Smoking More Harmful For A Person Who Had TB Before Than A Person Who Did Not ?
Hi Doctor,
I had Tuberculosis some 14 years back. I was completely cured then.
Presently i have a normal life, had a question. I smoke. I know smoking is bad but is it more harmful for a person who had TB before than a person who did not have one. Expect an honest answer :)
Regards,
Kauser

Well apparently it won t make much difference now since u r completely cured. But smoking itself is enough to cause serious damage
