No, amlodipine does not contain a diuretic. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker used primarily to treat high blood pressure and angina.

Cigarettes can have a mild diuretic effect due to the presence of nicotine, which may increase urine production. However, the primary health risks associated with smoking far outweigh any potential diuretic effects. Additionally, smoking can lead to dehydration, as it can affect fluid balance in the body. Overall, while there may be some diuretic properties, smoking is not a recommended method for managing fluid balance.
