Unfortunately for me like many other people smoking relieves my anxiety and helps me become less stressed. So today I had a smoke, just one and as much as it soothed my anxiety I feel extremely guilty and am wondering if this one cigarette could have an effect on my breast augmentation healing? I'm currently 10 days post op and before this one cigarette was able to go without smoking for 4 weeks!
