Dear patient
Smoking is always dangerous and it leads to multiple disease including cancer. Of particular importance at present is delayed healing of wound. Medication you are taking is antibiotics ( moxy clav ) and painkillers ( oxycodone acetaminophen ) . They both do not interfere with your smoking habit. So I would advise avoid smoking till there is complete wound healing and sutures are removed.
