Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Any form of smoking (Cannabis or Cigarette) reduces vascular circulation by causing vaso-constriction. Decrease blood supply decreases process of healing in the surgical wounds. Same time smoking reduces immunity and increases chances of having infection. So, it is better not to smoke in any form in this period.
Wishing you good health and all the best.
