What are the risks of smoking while taking naproxen 500mg? it was prescribed for an intercostal muscle strain due to coughing.

See details: The risks of smoking are horrendous enough. Taking Naproxen would likely not make that risk appreciably worse.

The risks of smoking: = the risks of smoking. With symptoms related to coughing, isn't it time to stop smoking?
