tobacco

Does anyone have any knowledge of the affects that tobacco has on someone with HPV? is it harder to fight the infection? harder to diagnose? ect? THANKS for any info!

My doctors have told me that smoking is not good for HPV, I was a smoker and quit almost a year ago. Stress, as ironic as it seems is also another factor that can increase your symptoms. Hope that helps. Remember that it is a virus and that has to do with your bodies immunity system, so smoking, stress, diet etc. will play a role in it. Hope that helps. Good luck!
