Medical examination for a smoker
Sir/madam
I am appearing for mediacal examination for visa immigration. I am a smoker and i use to talk 2-3 packs daily. But hearing about the xray examination, i was bit tensed and I planned to quit. But dues to intensive craving I am not able to do so,But I cut down the numbers to 5 max a day. Does this lung patches increase the chance for rejection of my visa.
Please help me.

Smoking cigarettes will cause lung cancer or COPD. That will take time to occur and now because of smoking there will be no change in your x-ray. In visa generally they check for tuberculosis patches. So don't worry atleast for visa part. If u don't have tuberculosis at present or in past or in childhood. But stop smoking for your health.
