I'm smoking 1 cigarette a day 2 weeks after breast lift. Will this stop my healing process?

SSS12345
I had a breast lift on Oct 3 2014. I had been smoking free for 5 months. After 2 weeks post operation I started to have 1 cigarette a day. Is that going to interfere with the healing? Extremely worried. I have had one cigarette a day in the third week post operation. If I stop now will my healing process her back on track? How much damage have i done?
