Hi, thanks for query. Smoking can not lead to boils, but it can delay recovery. The areas where you are having boils in very common. You need to complete the course as advised. Please avoid wearing tight clothes, wear cotton most of the time. Try to maintain good hygiene. Apply some local antibiotic over it.
