When you get a mammogram, do you have to refrain from smoking for any amount of time before the mammogram?


I am going to have a mammogram done on Monday and someone (not a medical professional) told me that you can't smoke for 48 hours before the mammogram, but no one at the doctors office mentioned this, is it true?

No.I never head of this. But don't use any lotions or antiperspirants/deodorants the day of your test
quit smoking, it's not good for health.
Relax, it's not true. Smoking has no effect on your x-ray.

(You oughta quit anyway, though.)
