Continuing to smoke after surgery greatly heightens a person's risks of complications, such as infections in the surgical incision. In one study, more than half of patients who continued smoking after surgery developed complications compared to less than 20 percent who quit. Plus, fewer complications means less time in the hospital for patients who kick the habit.
