Hi,
You need the help of a de-addiction center for your dependence. They will give drugs like nicotine patches and counseling to reduce your craving.
You have to pass a drug test for surgery as the smoker lung is associated with increased incidences of anesthesia complications and may delay your post-operative recovery. Be strong and start now.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
