Although I do wonder why children are smoking after an adult, but I guess that's another story?

Also, colds and flus and strep is far more likely to be transmitted by sharing utensils, etc., than any std is.

From what I read - no they cannot be. Oral Gonorrhea is actually in the back of the throat, like back where your tonsils are at.
