You should not smoke within the hour leading up to your appointment. You should also avoid alcoholic beverages in the 24 hours before you donate. You should also not chew gum, mints, or candy in the hours before your donation. Chewing gum, mints, or candy makes the temperature in your mouth go up, which could make it seem like you have a fever and make you ineligible to give blood.
