Would smoking cigarettes cause blisters that look like shingles while on coumadin?

Shingles is part of the herpes varicella-zoster virus, you can only get Shingles if you've contracted the chickenpox before, most people get chickenpox when they're children, but even after the chickenpox is 'gone' the virus stays in our nervous system, remaining dormant with our immune system keeping it in check.

Later on in your life, the zoster virus inside you can be reactivated, causing Shingles. Shingles is an infection of the nerve and skin around it.

Now I got Shingles just a few days ago, and from what I've been told (and with a bit of researching on the internet)

"an infection caused by a

herpesvirus (varicella-zoster virus), characterized by an eruption of groups of vesicles on one side of the body following the course of a nerve due to

inflammationof ganglia and dorsal nerve roots resulting from activation of the virus, which in many instances has remained latent for years following a primary chickenpox infection; the condition is self-limited but may be accompanied by or followed by severe postherpetic pain."



The causes for Shingles can be poor health, stress, and even depression. (And me having those three causes came together and made my Shingles emerge)

Anything that would basically damage/weaken your immune system in any way could cause Shingles, and who knows, maybe coumadin and cigarettes could help the cause of Shingles, cigarettes are of course not healthy (I myself smoke, so I'm not lecturing or anything like that) So everything inside those death sticks could most likely do at least some form of harm to the immune system, as well with the coumadin. (Because all drugs damage the body and especially the liver, prescribed drugs are only able to 'relieve' you and make you 'function at your best' not be healthy)

So all in all, it's the tampering of the immune system that causes Shingles to emerge, anything else that 'causes' Shingles must cause effect to the immune system.

Depends what you mean by 'Worst'

On the other hand if you stay in a close space with heavy smokers, you won't die like with car exhaust.

Why can't you buy individual cigarettes?

Because there's nothing in it for the tobacco company. A purchase of a pack of 20 keeps a would-be quitter committed that much longer and any casual smoker who really only wants one or two pays that much more for the pack (and stands a better chance of becoming a heavier smoker).

How does hemoglobin react to cigarette smoke in the lungs?

When you breathe in a lung-full of cigarette smoke, the carbon monoxide passes immediately into your blood, binding to the oxygen receptor sites and figuratively kicking the oxygen molecules out of your red blood cells. Hemoglobin that is bound to carbon monoxide is converted into carboxyhemoglobin, and is no longer able to transport oxygen. This means that less oxygen reaches a smoker's brain and other vital organs. Because of this added carbon monoxide load, a smoker's red cells are also less effective in removing carbon dioxide-a waste product-from his or her body's cells.

Why is a menthol cigarette called a breath mint?
