Okay im an 19 years old, getting surgery on the 30th and havent quit smoking i thought it was not that important but my older sister came over today and show me the smoking related risk when having surgery and im freaking out what im i supposed to do? Im stoping today and i only smoke 4 cigs a day normally

Talk to your Dr. If you have to delay it for your health its worth it.

I'm also having surgery on the 30th. Definitely stop now. Be honest with you doc and see what he says. It better to be safe then sorry. Its a week away so if you stop now there may not be a problem.

I don't want to influence you in any way shape or form but I smoked until the day before surgery. I smoked a pack a day and my last smoke was on a Sunday evening about 10pm and my surgery was Monday @ 7 am. There was no way I could stop before surgery, I was too nervous. I do have to say that being under anesthesia and being a smoker is so much more risky!!! But I took that chance

Same here my nerves was too bad. I quit the night before surgery. I can honestly day after surgery you don't crave a smoke.
