My 18 year old smoke is it going to be a problem at the medical? Cigarettes only no other drug.

Tabacco is not illegal.

Yes I’m aware of that that’s why I wanted to know if it’s gonna be a problem at medical because he’s 18 and the US changed the age from 18 to 21

So it won’t be an issue the fact that he is 18 and smoke and in the us it’s 21?

He should obey the US laws but as far as the US enforcing this law ,   its a pointless law

he will not be stopped for smoking and fined or arrested

 

in NY state they passed a law saying when driving one hand must be on steering wheel and can not drive with bare feet /  another unenforceable law

but insurance companies use these laws when there is an accident and they don't want to pay

 

here drs can refuse to operate on a smoker 

and health care  and life insurance costs a smoker more 

more important is his health / try to get him  to stop smoking

I understand and you’re right. he’s not a heavy smoker I found out he smokes occasionally and I’m gonna have a chat with him as soon as he gets here I just wanted to know if it will affect him at medical when they asked about it ?

Several people have told you that it won’t. The answers will remain the same.

sorry should have said

 

Marijuana (Weed, Cannabis)   yes,   he would need to report to medical examiner and be free of the drug for a year and tested again

 

just plain cigarettes ,  no not even a pipe,  smokeless tobacco, cigars or snuff
