Is Smoking Injurious To Health After Open Heart Surgery?
Hi.. im 19 years old and have had open heart surgery at the age of 5 due to aortic stenosis. I also had another procedure at 16 which was called the melody valve. It wasnt open heart surgery, they just ran a stint up my groind to my heart. I smoke weed everyday and drink atleast twice, sometimes 3 times a week. But no other drugs. Is this dangerous for me?
