A member asked:
I have had a mild concussion for a week. am i good to smoke recreationally? or will that affect the healing process?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Smoking decreases: circulation. It is not a good idea to smoke at all as you know, but now is the least best time to do so. You might think about considering this an opportunity to free yourself of something that will only lead to poor health eventually. Peace and good health.
