When you have your tonsiles are taken out can you smoke?
i recently had a tonsillectomy and threw in a pinch the very same day. since there is really no contact with your throat it should be ok. the only issue would be is that since your constantly spitting your mouth throat is drying out and could crack and bleed. so if you do decide to throw a pinch in make sure you are sipping on some kind of liquid as well and dont swallow any of the dip obviously because it can irritate your throat.

Is it common to vomit after tonsillectomy?
While it is not considered "normal" to vomit following oral surgery, it is a complication that is anticipated. Some people will react this way because of either the anesthetics or from swallowing blood during the surgery.
If the surgeon planned to use sedation as part of the procedure, you were told to not eat or drink anything for several hours prior to the surgery. This was to prevent you from aspirating stomach contents into your lungs if you vomited during the procedure.
Once the anesthetics have all been metabolized by the liver within a day or so, you should be feeling fine. If you continue to vomit or bleed, notify your surgeon and keep him/her apprised of your situation. Follow their instructions.
Why is it a good idea to have your tonsils removed?
Tonsils tend to harbor bacteria and other organisms and are usually linked with the adenoids. When either one, or both, are removed, people have reported that they don't snore as loudly and get a better night's rest. They have also reported that they don't become ill as often. Immediately after the tonsils are removed, there is expected bleeding that will occur. If you lay on your side, the bleeding will not trickle down your throat and cause possible clotting or drainage to the stomach.
How can you tell if you need your tonsils removed?
I just had mine out, I had Cryptic Tonsil I just found out about 1-2months ago. They can cause infections but nor me or the doctor knows how long I've had Cryptic Tonsil or why I developed them, some people develope them when there born, others later on, but they only diagnosed that when they saw food getting stuck in there (because its holes in the tonsil where food gets stuck, also known as Tonsilitis) I had many throat infections when I was docs never mentioned Cryptic Tonsil, I never heard of them, so I didn't have my tonsils out, and my tonsils never got so big to where I couldn't breath, if they did, then they'd be taken out, but if your having lots of infections, you may have Cryptic Tonsils and no one may know since I guess the only way they can tell is if food is getting stuck in them, and sometimes you can't even see the food when it is stuck in there because there are folds over the tonsils where it can get stuck. I haven't had a throat infection for at least 2 years, but I had them out because they said Cryptic Tonsils only gets worse. Any other way you can tell if you have them, is after you clean your mouth with mouth wash and everything well, take a Q-Tip and gentily swab the tonsil for a few secs, take it out and smell it, if it smells really bad, then you probably have it and should tell the doctor, also check in your throat every time after you eat to see if there is any white stuff back there it would be food.
What type of medications are given for a tonsillectomy?
