Looking for coding guidance when using the code below. Documentation more than the tobacco assessment . Any help is greatly appreciated

Toxic effect of tobacco cigarettes, intentional self-harm, sequela - T65.222S
 
Hi
From reading this only use the dx of T65.22S if patient tried suicide by cigarette smoke with late effects on healing. or it is 2nd hand cig smoking affecting healing of current wound or illness? You need to give more information on question. Always match the physician 's notations regarding selection of the dx code.

I hope this helps you Perkins05
