Smoking

Anyone quit smoking for tt or plastics?  If so, how long did you have to wait after surgery before you could smoke again?

Hi,

Here is an article on this very subject.
they recommend at least 4 weeks.

good luck.  Hope you consider never starting back up.

Most PS's, if they are any good, will insist that you stop smoking prior to plastics, or for that matter any surgery.  This is because smoking drastically affects the healing process so not only just before surgery but also for several weeks after surgery you shouldn't smoke.
