Effect of Cigarette
Smoke on Medicines
Cigarette smoke has been linked
with a number o f health problems
including cancer and heart disease.
Smokers face another, less well
known problem that nonsmokers
do not share. Research has shown
that cigarette smoke can interact
with some of the medicines people
commonly take. Here is a list from
a U.S. government publication:
Pain relievers: Smoking may re
duce the effect o f painkillers such
as propoxyphene ( D arvon ) and
pentazocine (Talwin).
Antidepressants: The effect o f
antidepressant medicines such as
amitriptyline (Elavil), imipramine
(Tofranil), and doxepin (Sinequan)
can be reduced by cigarette smoke.
Oral contraceptives: The risk of
serious complications from oral
contraceptive use (blood clots,
strokes, and heart attacks) can be
increased by smoking.
