Can you smoke while your on antibiotics? I've been on them for 2 days now and would like to take advantage of the warm weather we are having in Jersey and enjoy a smoke tonight.

    I wouldn't see a problem with it. I wouldn't do a 4cigar session but having 1-2 can't hurt anything...better than drinking on antibiotics!

    My doc has just always told me no alcohol while on them.. Never anything about smoking.

    Cigars won't have any effect on them. If you are taking them after (or before) an oral procedure, then you may want to refrain from smoking (not because of the antibiotics, but because of the effect smoke can have on incisions, etc.)

    Alcohol can reduce the efficacy of antibiotics though, so don't do that.

    Really? By what mechanism are you speaking of?
