anyone know if sharing a cigarette, or placing your tongue, any part of your mouth, etc on the cigarette that another person had who has an std in the mouth could be transferred to you?
ps. smoking is bad.

Cold sores (oral herpes) can be passed by sharing a cigarette or drink with someone who has cold sores.
Cold sores are NOT considered a STD though, because they affect your mouth/lips, not the genital area. They are usually passed by kissing someone who has them, or sharing something like a drink or cigarette. About 75 - 80% of the WORLD has cold sores. It's VERY common!
Take care!
(And yes, smoking is VERY bad!)

herpes simplex 1 (cold sores) can be transferred from mouth-to-mouth kissing. herpes simplex 2 which is the penile or vaginal kind can be passed to the mouth by oral sex.

I believe both forms of herpes can be transmitted that way...
