If I am smoking Hookah the night before I donate blood, does that DQ me from donating?
I smoke socially (both cigs and hookah) and I just would like to know if smoking would keep me from donating. I dont smoke often, however I am planning on smoking the night before...oh and last month I spent a few weeks in Europe..i.e. france, italy, spain, and england...would that keep me from donating? I really want to donate since my blood type is super hard to find, AB-.

It is great that you want to donate. Since you are only smoking tobacco, it will not interfere with your donation. You will have to check the book at the donation center to be certain of the traveling, but I think you should be fine since it was only a few weeks.

It shouldn't do, I know many people who smoke regularly and are still able to give blood. The carbon monoxide level in your blood will go down to a normal level after eight hours of non-smoking.
