In reply to Herbal (no nic)cigs prior surgery better at least?, posted by ConfuzyQ on July 26, 2007, at 11:03:52
I once heard a surgeon say that quitting smoking even for 48 hours prior to surgery has a significant impact on reducting post-operative infections--which I think is related to the smoke and not nicotine.
Of course you should act on your own docs instructions.
Good luck!
