Anyone dip before/after surgery
You'd better start backing off or quitting all together. Ask your doctor but I don't think tobacco use in ANY form is good for an early post op. Smoking constricts your veins slowing the healing process and I don't think the "particles" of snuff or chew would be good on a modified gizzard. Run the risk of giving yourself an ulcer.
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!
