Can You Smoke Nicotine-free Electronic Cigarettes Before a Tummy Tuck?

April 26, 2011
Asked By:KristenR. in Oklahoma City, OK

I ordered and started smoking E-cigarettes from Green Smoke in order to quit smoking cigarette's But, after more research I found it was the Nicotine that is bad. So, my question is...if I ordered and started smoking E-cigarettes with Nicotine-free filters (just flavored water vapor) before my surgery, would that be okay?
