True – Ni****ne, whether from ci******es, e-ci******es (va**ng), or other products, can reduce blood flow to your tissues. This can slow healing, increase the risk of complications, and affect the quality of your surgical results.

Every surgery, whether big or small, relies on your body’s ability to heal well. Smoking and ni****ne products (including va**ng) can affect circulation, reduce oxygen delivery, and delay recovery, which may impact both your results and your safety.

If you’re considering surgery, stop smoking and all ni****ne use well before your surgery. This gives your body the best chance to recover, reduces some risks of surgery, and supports your healing.
