What are the dangers of smoking cigarettes before an adult Tonsillectomy?
Alright.
Now here, I am not looking for the, "OH, YOU SHOULD JUST QUIT NOW" sort of stuff.
I enjoy smoking my cigarettes.
Is it dangerous to smoke prior to an adult Tonsillectomy?
What are the chances of having clotting issues?
If it is extremely dangerous, how many days or weeks in advance should I take a break from smoking?

I would recommend giving up cigarettes for 10 days before the surgery. Having tonsils out at as an adult is very much more of a blow to the system than if you were seven years old. There are ways to give up, such as the nicotine patches. My father gave up after having a wad of cigarette paper
lit in front of him, having the flame beaten out and smelling the smoking paper. Disgusting.
He still died of lung cancer eleven years later aged 67.
Having a couple of drinks a day is healthy. Having a few cigarettes a day is not. Most people smoke at least twenty to thirty.
