Hello In my view smoking is harmful to anyone and in your case it's more dangerous. Post surgery your wound healing process take sometime with right nutrition,rest&vitamin supplements to encourage collegen formation it will be more quick.Where as,smoking,retard wound healing through impairing tissue oxygenation. If the oxygen supply is effected you will have slow wound healing and may even cause bacterial growth as Nicotine causes blood flow to slow down by constricting the vessels.To prevent all the possible complications my advice; if i were you treating doctor would be to avoid smoking at least till you recover. Hope your question is answered.
