Want to heal ??: Any smoking activity can delay the healing process while you recover from your surgery. It can trigger capillary spasm in the very sites you want working hard to repair those tissues. I would give it a couple weeks before resuming your plan.

Smoke is toxic: Toxic means unsafe, or really unsafe. The intentional habit of inhaling burning organic material, combined with various chemicals used in the growing and manufacturing of that material (regardless of whether it is tobacco, marijuana, or any other plant) is bad for the body. Just think about it. Who would intentionally start something burning and inhale the stuff over and over and over?
