Can Smoking Cigarette Fallen In The Public Toilet Give One Hepatitis Or Std's ?
Hi. Recently i asked one of my friends for a cigarette . He gave me one, and after i smoked it he told me that he took it from the floor of a public toilet (in fact a very dirty one with urine all over the floor). The cig seemed dry (but im not sure about it). My lips that day had many cuts. Is there a chance i got hepatitis , hiv , or any other diseace? thank you

Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
There is minimal risk of the above diseases as the main route of spread is blood , but as your lips had cut, there could be possibilities of other infections , as it can be contagious ,and the micro organisms may take entry in your body.
