I just had a thyroglossal cyst removed about a week ago. is it safe for me to smoke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seriously?: It has never been safe to smoke--especially after oral, nasal or throat surgery! talk to your surgeon before doing anything to further harm you or delay/prevent healing of a surgical site.
