No, in fact Measles causes Shingles later in life. If you have had Measles you may very well develop Shingles when you are elderly. There is a vaccine for Shingles, but it's only available to those over the age of 60.

Would smoking cigarettes cause blisters that look like shingles while on coumadin?

Shingles is part of the herpes varicella-zoster virus, you can only get Shingles if you've contracted the chickenpox before, most people get chickenpox when they're children, but even after the chickenpox is 'gone' the virus stays in our nervous system, remaining dormant with our immune system keeping it in check.Later on in your life, the zoster virus inside you can be reactivated, causing Shingles. Shingles is an infection of the nerve and skin around it.Now I got Shingles just a few days ago, and from what I've been told (and with a bit of researching on the internet)"an infection caused by a herpesvirus (varicella-zoster virus), characterized by an eruption of groups of vesicles on one side of the body following the course of a nerve due toinflammationof ganglia and dorsal nerve roots resulting from activation of the virus, which in many instances has remained latent for years following a primary chickenpox infection; the condition is self-limited but may be accompanied by or followed by severe postherpetic pain."The causes for Shingles can be poor health, stress, and even depression. (And me having those three causes came together and made my Shingles emerge)Anything that would basically damage/weaken your immune system in any way could cause Shingles, and who knows, maybe coumadin and cigarettes could help the cause of Shingles, cigarettes are of course not healthy (I myself smoke, so I'm not lecturing or anything like that) So everything inside those death sticks could most likely do at least some form of harm to the immune system, as well with the coumadin. (Because all drugs damage the body and especially the liver, prescribed drugs are only able to 'relieve' you and make you 'function at your best' not be healthy)So all in all, it's the tampering of the immune system that causes Shingles to emerge, anything else that 'causes' Shingles must cause effect to the immune system.-Marcus
