Tonsilectomy and Smoking.? -

On November 4th 2009 I had my tonsil-s removed, I was asked by my mother to stop smoking for my sugery. They never told me when i could start back smoking. It is today November 11, 2009. When do you think I could go back to smoking?your good,surgeys heal quickly if they are done on the head,because blood is always circulating thorugh your headAs a smoker myself, I know how hard it can be to not smoke for that long, but as a medical student, I also know how dangerous it can be to smoke so soon after a throat surgery. I would suggest waiting another week; it-s only been a week since your surgery, and you-re probably still experiencing soreness. Cigarette smoke not only will NOT help with your soreness, but will also put you at risk for developing a secondary infection - definitely not worth it. In the meantime, perhaps try a nicotine patch or something of that sort to ease the cravings. I hope this helps. Good luck!If you are stupid enough to smoke, smoke em if you got em.
