Smoking before, during and after Procedure???

[nw2-3]

I had my HT this weekend, i am not a real smoker, maybe up to 5 cigarettes a week, sometimes 2 weeks none.

 

But when i am a little bit stressed i smoke some. Also short times before during and after the HT. All in all this weekend 6 cigarettes.

 

I did not knew that it is bad, and also the doc did not say anything about it.

 

Can these few cigarettes harm my grafts?

 

I of course stopped immediately when i heard about it.

 

I do a lot of sports too, so oxygen in my body should be high.

 

What do you think???

I can't believe your doc let you smoke during the HT. This is the first time i heard about it. One thing for sure, smoking does not help with the healing or growth of the grafts. To what extent, hard to say, but I don't think you should freak out about this since you are a light smoker anyway.
