No: No, it adversely effects healing and is a respiratory irritant.

Smoking never "safe": Smoking has so many health risks including the way in which it adversly affects healing, so you will never get a doctor to tell you it's safe to smoke. Check with your local hospital or health care provider about smoking cessation classes.

Don't smoke: Don't smoke after surgery and be sure to follow your surgeon's postop instructions
