I've personally seen or known people who smoke heavily and donating blood, is it ok for people like that to donate blood? Secondly, will the acceptor have any impact on the blood that he/she gets from someone like that?
|
well, as far as i know smokers are not allowed to donate blood.
they are already ruining their life. Why do they want to ruin others?
it will harm lungs of donors.
i dont know about Paksitan but its strongly prohibited to take blood od any smoker ot drug adict.
it is the responsibility of doctor that they dont allow any smoker to donate after screaning test confirmed.
