Smoking cessation
Prehabilitation
Smokers have a risk of serious complications during and after surgery. Having an operation is a good reason to quit smoking. For the greatest benefit, you should aim to quit smoking at least eight weeks prior to surgery.
Resources
Smoke Free. Vape Free. Surgery Ready.
Every week you don’t smoke or vape before surgery will help your body cope better during the procedure and speed up recovery afterwards.
