Question 1

i had a anal fissure surgery done 
when can i resume smoking?
i don't smoke cigarettes but weed only.

Accepted Answer

Avoid marijuana: Smoking (inhaling smoke, which is full of lung irritants and cancer-causing chemicals) of any kind is unhealthy. We humans are not designed to inhale the byproducts of burning organic materials and whatever other chemical additives are mixed in with the plant materials. Avoid intentionally inhaling burning materials. It's just a bad idea, and not healthy for the body.

Question 2

it's been 5 days since i had lasik .i stopped smoking weed 15 days before the surgery .can i resume smoking weed from 6th day after lasik ?

Accepted Answer

No: A visit to the doctor can help, especially if the doctor knows of successful rehab centers or addiction-medicine specialists, both of which may be helpful to a marijuana user wanting to go cold turkey (stop all use at once). For users with good planning skills and willpower, they can cut out a portion of their use (such as 1/3 or 1/2) every couple of weeks or so, and eventually get to zero use.

Question 3

i am just finished my dental implant today when can i resume smoking?

Accepted Answer

Smoking and implants: Bad idea, in general. Certainly, within the first 7-10 days after any oral surgery, you should not smoke to avoid problems with wound healing. After that, studies suggest that smoking may adversely affect implant integration with the bone, so the implant could fail. That said, in the long term, data regarding smoking and dental implants is controversial.

Question 4

can i resume smoking after 6 month of healing time for fracture on the midshaft femur bone? or should i hold it for at least a year?

Accepted Answer

6 months: Can turn into a year and then for a lifetime. Any doctor who tells you or encourages you to do so should hold that advise. You have not been smoking for 6 months. The withdrawal from nicotine is gone, only the behavioral problem of "being used to" you have to contend with. Remember, smoking can still cause avascular necrosis of the femoral head and other bad things. I hope you stop smoking.

Question 5

on the 5th day after wisdom teeth extraction, can i resume normal eating/smoking habits?

Accepted Answer

It should be fine: Unless there's pus, bleeding or swelling. Have fun!

Question 6

how bad is smoking ?

Accepted Answer

Very bad, and...: Smoking is completely unnecessary. If nobody on planet Earth purposely inhales smoke or vapors of any kind, we would all still be just fine... and a lot healthier. All smokers need to quit smoking. However, the nicotine is extremely addictive, which is why the tobacco industry is able to keep selling so much of their products for MONEY. One can work with his primary care doctor on quitting.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Smoking is bad.: It causes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and lung cancer, besides possibility of mouth and esophageal cancer. It contributes to poor healing, foul odor, osteoporosis etc.

Question 8

Question 9

how can i quite smoking?

Accepted Answer

: Congratulations on making the decision to stop smoking.  Now for the plan: first of all set times to smoke.  Don't have a cigarette until a certain time of day; don't smoke in the house, office, car ...; have you last cigarette at a certain time.  Control is the name of the game.  Expand the windows by use of Nicorete gum.
