A member asked:

Can smoking a cigarette have any effect on hep b and rabies vaccinations if smoked a few hours after the injection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No Effect: Smoking does not interfere with rabies or Hepatitis B Vaccine (or any other vaccine). By the way- you know you need to quit smoking. Talk to your doctor about effective therapies to help you quit smoking. Good luck!
