Whenever: There is no waiting period to smoke after the procedure. But, of course you know that you shouldn't anyways. It is bad for the eyes and indeed for the rest of your body!

Never without : Suffering some symptoms of dryness and irritation. For a variety of reasons, the ocular surface is compromised after lasik surgery. Consequently the ocular surface is intrinsically more dry. Smoking anytime will worsen that both from the effects of the smoke and the pharmaceutical effect of the tobacco. Discuss the situation with your doc and see if you can come up with an agreeable compromise.
