I did not really: Understand the question. When one has TB we recommend no smoking as the scar later can become cancer, the treatment is 6-9 months and you have to follow with your doctor to make sure no side effects as the liver. Take the meds religiously. After several days of treatment, sputum is checked to make sure person is not contagious anymore. All contacts should be checked for positive test and prophylax.
