Never.: Is this a trick question? You shouldn't smoke, so use this opportunity to quit altogether.

Stop smoking forever: Try to use the opportunity to totally quit smoking tobacco. It is true that bone healing is slowed by smoking but there are other health concerns that should encourage you to quit smoking forever.

NEVER: Since you are lucky to be able to stop even for a short period,my advise is that you don,t pick up this habit again. Smokingis bad for your health and it can be difficult to quit.
