Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Well, smoking itself is injurious to health, especially it directly affects respiratory tract.
After tonsillectomy, smoking might precepite and give chance for throat and upper respiratory infections.
Hence better to stop and quit smoking. It will improve your health a lot. All the best.
