It depends: Most doctors want you to stop cigarettes and tobacco at least 4 weeks before your hip replacement. The key is to not be discouraged, even if you have smoked for a long time. Stretching the time between quitting smoking and your surgery out to 10 weeks or more can decrease your risk of problems even more. Please talk to your physician. (source: cleveland clinic web).
