Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If you can hold 5 days without smoking then surely some more days you can avoid smoking until the wound gets better.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priya Mohod Shirsat
