Is it okay to smoke cigarettes with a skin graft?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Never: With or without a skin graft, it is never a good idea to smoke cigarettes. In your case, however, smoking will decrease the chance of your skin graft taking root; smoking makes it more likely to fail because the blood supply is more limited.
