A member asked:

Can you give someone clymidia by sharing cigarettes or kissing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: The end of a cigarette is not a favorable site for chlamydia to survive and of course the person in question would have to have an active chlamydia infection of the mouth or lips. Sounds like a golden opportunity to give up smoking forever.
