A member asked:
Can continuing smokers be allowed to have a heart or lung transplant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The amount of wealth and the insurance. Usually a contraindication because mortality is increased and transplant programs have to meet certain goals, such as 80% after 2 years. However, steve jobs got a liver transplant for pancreatic cancer with liver mets. There are many docs trained in smoking cessation. Take their advice and treatment.
