Hello,
welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Cigarette contain nicotine. Nicotine increases acid secretion and its reflux. As because of this problem you was operated, then it is best to stop smoking. Weed also have similar effect on acidity and reflux.
You are smoking only 1-2 cigarette per day, If you are not able to quit smoking by yourself, then you can take help nearby psychiatrist or deaddiction specialist.
Wish you good health and all the best.
Regards,
