My Dr said any kind of smoking can/will eventually lead to blood clots

I've had small edibles since surgery. I'll smoke pot occasionally. As long as I don't get the munchies it's fine with me.

I don't smoke and my doc recommended waiting 6 months or more before I drink. The rationale was that most alcohol is carbs and empty calories. I was also warned that alcohol will impact us more quickly - just take it easy until you know how it will affect you.

I used to smoke. I would not now as I would not risk a blood clot for an outing with friends , me personally not judging others, I know some who say they smoke after sleeve and they are still alive and kicking .

Drinking I was told wait 3 months.

Ask your surgeon also.

I don't smoke so no help there but I waited 6 months for a drink per my Drs recommendation. I have no issue with drinking now, same tolerance as before but I feel like it's wasted calories so I never go beyond a glass of wine on occasion.
