A member asked:
What kind of diseases can you get from smoking cigarettes off the ground?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mostly the same ones: you get from cigarettes you DON'T pick up off the ground. I am going to assume you have a computer and pay for an internet service, so I am concerned as to why you are picking up butts. Anybody who has a bacterial or viral infection can leave saliva with these germs on the cigarette, and you could be exposed. In addition, tuberculosis could be spread, as well as herpesvirus infections. Quit now.
