Smoking should cease about a month before surgery and for as long as possible after surgery to reduce complications.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA
Smoking days before yoursurgery is something that nobody should do at all. In fact, smoker patients should pause it, atleast, 2 months prior surgery, and until a month after surgery (this time framecan vary). I don't know for how long you've been smoking,but I recommend you to consult a Specialist before your surgery, to check yourlungs and make sure you're healthy for this procedure. It would be good foryour Surgeon to have a clearance before proceeding to operate.
