Is it safe to smoke after six month penile implant

I smoked the entire time. A few a day post op, i am a 5-8 cigs a day smoker.

damn you got 6 months why ever smoke again i chew tried so many times i need to quite also started out smoking loved a cig but terrible for a guy i hope to be quit all Tabacco one day soon

If I’m gonna be brutally honest, it’s never safe to smoke. Tobacco in any form entails some risk.

However, as someone who has been chewing tobacco & dipping snuff for 55 years, I think if you’re past 6 months that your smokes aren’t going to interfere with you healing up from surgery.

I am a cigar smoker. I stopped before and for a while after my first implant surgery. For my repair I did not stop. I did not see any difference in the healing.

I was a former smoker, but my long initial healing had me back on the cigs for a few weeks.

Now, I'm popping nicorette tablets like they are Altoids. Except they interfere with sleep, so planning on quitting that.

Nicorette is about as harmful as a cup of coffee, I read on the internet.

If anyone out there is trying to quit and having problems you have probably heard about this, and if you haven't consider it - Chantix is a hell of a drug. Didn't think anything would get me to stop. Took me a few months with it and I was good with little to no desire to ever again. I've talked to a few people who tried it who didn't like the crazy dreams it can cause. Wasn't an issue for me.

I have been an episodic smoker through most of my adult life alternating between long stretches of excellent lifestyle choices (diet & gym) versus periods of utter wretched self abuse. Chain smoking 2 packs a day for months. I speculate that this heavy smoking was a causal factor in my eventual veinous leakage and ED.

I started vaping about a year and a half ago. Not bad. I could breathe pretty easily say and stayed active in the gym. But i hit the vape hard throughout each day. I just sensed that, though a better choice than smoking cigarettes, it still was a distant second to just breathing simple air. Anyway, i vaped right through my recovery, including day of surgery.

I’ve been retired in Thailand now for 2+ months. Just over a month ago i finished my last vape cartridges from the US and decided to quit again. Yeah, i was addicted but managed to push through the cravings and now im feeling much better and not thinking about it too much. A welcome change. In the gym daily, and i think my overall performance in the bedroom has greatly improved, since the cessation of vaping has resulted in better breathing overall.
