Should I be worried about getting an infection or not healing properly from vaping and being a light smoke?

believe1
I have surgery in 4 days and I'm not a heavy smoker, maybe 2 a day. I stopped only a couple days ago because my surgery for the BBL was unexpectedly moved up. I do also cape with a very low amount of nicotine. I'm also a heavy drinker ((alcohol)) and haven't stopped drinking. How concerned should I be about getting an infection due to this and should I cancel my procedure because of this?
