What if somebody quit smoking a year before having this surgery? Maybe 5 years? Because I've been smoking for the past 3 years and I wanted to talk about this topic since CLL is my aim.

Let's consider that I quit smoking at this exact moment. The best CLL time for me would be after 6 7 years due to my uni education, and some other personal factors. Would it be "safe" since I quit smoking more than 6 years ago?

Let's get to the point, if someone has ever had smoked straight for a year or so, would it be impossible for him to have this surgery even 10 years later? Or would it not matter ?

Lol of course. If you are smoking on a regular basis Paley said smoking should be stopped at least 2 or 3 months prior to the surgery (can't exactly remember, maybe it even was only 4 weeks). You are talking about multiple years, for sure if you quit early enough it is no problem. However, you should probably not smoke again afterwards, at least until 100% healed. My advice anyways is to just drop that sh*t as early as possible as it will safe your health which is overall important for surgery and recovery in general.

Note that secondhand smoke counts too.

(you know that if you go completely clean forever your body recovers a lot and even cancer risk in the long term decreases. the only point where you can't go back is if you already have cancer or developed COPD)

Lol. Tysm bro. I mean, I just wanted to make sure you know, I know smoling is bad and I'm not even near to be someone who casually smokes 10+ cigs per day. Sometimes I never smoke for a week, sometimes never smoke for a month.. I'm not addicted to it. It just goes well with the music + environment and I just enjoy it. I won't be a freak who does a package per day, god forbid.

Of course I would never smoke after the surgery, the closest time would be probably after 6 months after the nail removal.

Thank you for your reply btw. Have a nice day.

As someone who smoked in the past although not much but has now not smoked for over 2 years, when you quit you won’t believe how much better you’ll feel.  I researched a lot before quitting altogether and basically even smoking 1-2 cigs a day is   for you and puts you at all kinds of adverse health risks.

Anyone know if nicotine gum is a contraindication for CLL? If so, how bad is it?  I’m sure it’s not recommended and I’ll certainly avoid that as much as possible but....
