Can smoking and lung x-rays affect aviation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: But i'm not sure what you are asking. Flying airplanes and high altitude may expose you to more cosmic radiation. Smoking in an airplane is now forbidden because you cause everyone to inhale side-stream smoke. And lun x-rays are done in a clinic or hospital and have no effects on aircraft.
