The purpose of HBOT is to deliver high doses of oxygen to your body through your blood. Smoking inhibits this oxygen delivery in at least three ways. The smoke inhibits oxygen uptake in the lungs. Most important, the nicotine in cigarettes narrows the diameter of the blood vessels. This greatly reduces the amount of blood that can reach your tissues.
Smoking increases lung congestion and risk of complications.
