Smoking can delay healing by interfering with the capillaries that supply the blood. If you want to heal well nd quickly, give the healing at least a week or two to let the process move as fast as possible.

"last Wednesday" doesn't tell unshod long ago you had the surgery. Your question may be published days to years after you submit it. Probably better to wait a couple of weeks as tobacco smoke dries and irritates tissues, delaying healing. You've been without cancer sticks since "last Wednesday," consider that a great start at quitting.
