Hello, 1) You can not discontinue immunosuppresive medications after liver transplantation without consultation to doctor. 2) If your blood reports would be steady without much variation then your medications will be stopped gradually one by one 3) Smoking is not advisable even for healthy person. 4) In particular for live transplantation, smoking has hazardous effect in term of possible route of infection. 5) You should consider any substance, any environment, any situation where fall down is major concern (This causes blunt trauma to abdomen)
