How many days should you be free of second-hand smoke before it's safe to have breast reduction?

Asked By:Nimrin in Maine, ME

One of the doctors here said if you're exposed to second-hand smoke you should not have breast reduction. How long should I stay away from smokers before having surgery? Does it also depend on how much or how often you're actually exposed to smoke and is the same risk present when living in polluted areas?
