Vaping nicotine 1 month after a hair transplant?

April 1, 2018
Asked By:MarkPietta in Toronto, ON

It's been a month after my 2000 graft FUE procedure, during which time I have abstained from using my e-pipe, as recommended by my plastic surgeon. Now that it has been an entire month, can I begin vaping again? I'm aware that nicotine is not very good for a person in general, but specifically relating to the proper development of the grafted follicles, is there any risk in a light (2-3 times per day) vaping habit at this point?
