Can smoking while you're on prescribed medicine make you sick?

Question

My boyfriend smokes cigs and pot and he has a very bad back. He has to take Tylenol 3 and Advil for it. Laltely he's been sick like a dog.. I keep telling him that all those combinations are bad. He wants to go on the patch, but I read on the box of the smoking patches, that you shouldn't wear the patch and take prescribed medicine..

Advice please?

Specifically look for calcium, potassium and magnesium on that website. Possibly iron and the EPN product

Yes smoking will alter your body because its basically 280 different chemicals you are inhaling and it takes oxygen out of your body.

With the pot... well that goes back to the EPN product and common sense.  

He doesnt need the patch he needs minerals so he doesnt crave pot and cigs and plus minerals will take away his back pain unless it is skeletal.

Have bf call his doctor or speak to the pharmacist where his prescriptions were filled about contraindications or side effects the nicotine patches could carry.  Depends on what medications he is on.  If Tylenol 3 is one of the ones which include codeine, that could be making him nauseous and not the nicotine.  I have smoked and drank for years on just about every med except anti-biotics (alcohol kills the anti-b's) with no ill effects and used the patch which did not work for me.  Finally gave the patch up, reduced my daily cigarette intake to about 5 a day and was able to quit without an NRT.  If he has an allergy to the codeine, his doctor may be able to change his pain meds to something he can safely use while on the patch.
