Long story short, after not smoking for years I recently had a rough break up and got back into serious smoking... I am talking a pack a day for th entire past week (breakups suck). Anyways, now my surgery is exactly 3 weeks from today. Should I postpone the surgery or if I do not smoke anymore is this OK? I completely forgot that you should not smoke :( I am getting mixed answers on google, some reading 6-8 weeks others 2 weeks. I am otherwise a healthy person, 115lbs and 30 years old + vitamin
