[AUREA 0]

I had my Medical today at St. Lukes.One question of the doctor is about tobacco use. I answered yes because during my college days, I used to smoke. I just answered honestly. Is this a reason for visa denial? Any input will be appreciated...thanks a lot....

I would have expounded on that. Yes, but I haven't smoked in XX years. Statistically, after a number of years you are the same risk as a non smoker, Yes?

Hi joelunchbox

I actually told the doctor that i have smoked when i was still in college. And i saw the doctors note on the paper " History of tobacco Use". But there was a question(in the paper) if i'mstill smoking. There was two choices the Yes and the No boxes. I saw that the doctor put a check on the No box.

I'm really hoping that this could not be the reason for visa denial...

No it is not a reason for denial.... or half of us would not be in the US with our loved ones.... I still smoke only 5 a day but I still do... I was not even asked about it at interview...

I smoke a few a day and was honest at the medical. I actually asked the doctor was smoking frowned upon and he said no. Its not a reason for denial. Good luck!

Not unless you lace that cigarette with crack or some other illegal substane. Other than that, NO PROBLEM! However, you'll find that cigarettes here in the States are very expensive. Plus, there are smoke free zones. Take care...

Cheers!!!
