Is it fine to smoke two cigarettes per day after 6 weeks of hernia open surgery? Will it affect wound?

It will not affect wound, but if you develop cough, then the increased abdominal pressure due to coughing will lead to the sutures breaking and abdominal contents like intestine can come out due that, so stop smoking, take this as a blessing in disguise which helps you to quit smoking.

Hi and thanks dear cigarette smoking is always bad for health so I recommend you don't smoke at all and if you wish to smoke kindly smoke 2 cigarettes with good filter and 2 are enough for 1 day. Thanks visit again.
