I know how bad and the risks of smoking are after this surgery but could really do with some advice. I stopped smoking 2 weeks before my surgery and my surgeon has said to refrain for at least 2 weeks after. Im now post day 6. I am really struggling. Never was a heavy smoker. Only 2/3 a day but with the stress of this week due to the pain iv been in i am desperate to know when i can smoke again. So far i seem to be healing well. Would just like more opinions
