because it can make you bleed. has to do with blood clots.
i'm a smoker and i read up and asked my doctor about it.
you should wait till after your full two weeks is up.
sometimes it wont do anything,
but it's been known to make you bleed, alot.
I had my tonsils out when I was 31 and waited 4 weeks before I lit up again. Yes, I should have had more will-power but it takes 3 weeks to form a habit and 3 months to break a habit. I've just had further (and non-related) throat surgery. For the first 10 days I didn't even want to LOOK at a cigarette. I've now gone nearly 3 weeks without smoking as I don't want to end up with an infection in my throat.
If you're going to continue to be a smoker after any nasal or throat surgery, pleaes please please try to last the bare minimum time the doctors give you before lighting up.
omg thats retarded, ur excited to smoke again after all that sh*t, f**k that. i just got mine out yesterday morning. im so tempted to smoke ,but i dont know.
i am 16 years old. i have been smoking since i was 12. a 4-5 year habit. i got my tonsils taken out on the 18th of february. last wednesday. it is now sunday. (february 22nd) ...i am on a 10 day lockdown for recovery, im not aloud outside, due to risk of infections. im not aloud to have certain foods such as abything with acids or tomatoes. and not aloud to use straws- because sucking causes bleeding, same reason why ur not aloud to smoke, due to the pressure ur putting on ur throat. this smoking thing has been a pondering question in my head. IF UR GOING TO SMOKE, WAIT THE FULL 10 RECOVERY DAYS FOR SAFTEY REASONS .
im having my tonsils out tomorrow and was wondering if you can smoke hours before the operatio
