General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

I suggest you don't do it. You should have healed completely before considering smoking again, and that goes for both ordinary tobacco and sweet Mary Jane.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Anders Mark Christensen, General Surgeon
