A member asked:

Is it ok to smoke anything a couple of days before surgery ? have a dear friend i am concerned about . thanks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Delayed healing: Any surgeon will tell you that patients that smoke have delayed healing. There are many reasons for this, compromised vascularity being right up there. If you really want to make a difference, it will take more than 2 days of abstinence! better yet, stop altogether!
