When Can I Smoke A Cigarette After Undergoing Tonsillectomy?
I had a tonsillectomy on July 1st so about 9 days ago. I stopped smoking before my surgery but I have thought about trying an e cigarette but I wanted to know when it would be safe to try and if there are any serious health risks regarding the tonsillectomy. Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

HI.
Smoking in general has only bad effects on health and everything related to the health , operation of Tonsillectomy, Recovery particular of the oral wound. It is better to stop smoking till you are completely OK. It affects the haling directly.
You may smoke after 15 days once the healing is complete.
Best is NOT to smoke .
