when can i smoke after tonsillectomy ?

Accepted Answer

Ask your doctor: At 18 y/o you should really consider not taking it up again.  Smoking is a leading factor in heart attacks and the number one factor in lung cancers and copd.  Being a cardiothoracic surgeon i unfortunately see the end stages of these diseases.   Take this opportunity to stop.  Breathing through a hole in your neck in a wheelchair with one leg on dialysis and in heart failure isn't fun or cool.

Question 5

what will happen if i smoke after having a pneumomediastinum?

Accepted Answer

Nothing good: one of the things that we do when we smoke, sometimes unconsciously, is to hold one's breath to increase the amount of time the smoke spends in our lungs so that we get more nicotine out of it. Breath-holding increases the chance of a Valsalva maneuver, which can exacerbate a pneumothorax or a pneumomediastinum. Plus it does all its usual damage.Please talk to your doctor about ways to quit now!!

Reduce meal size. Get a coach to help.
