One aspect of smoking that I don’t see talked about much is how it screws with your blood’s ability to transport oxygen effectively. This can drastically increase your risk of complications if you have to have surgery. My friend is a plastic surgeon and refuses to operate on smokers unless they quit for six weeks to give their body enough time to generate functional blood cells. A few patients have lied to him, though. One had a breast augmentation and her nipples died and had to be removed due to insufficient oxygen supply to the area. If you have to have surgery, it is best to stop smoking for at least a month and a half.
