How soon before a rhinoplasty should I quit smoking?

Asked By:rnikkole in Grand Rapids, MN

I'm interested in getting a rhinoplasty and I know it's a requirement to stop smoking beforehand, so I am curious as to how soon before surgery should I quit? Also when I quit, if I'm still around second hand smoke will that adversely effect me during surgery and recovery?
