Hey there, i had just got an operation to put a stent into my ureter, the tube connecting my kidney to my bladder. I had had some pains in my side, when i went to he hospital and they said they needed to insert a stent. Now, i do smoke, and yes, i was told alll weekend by nurses doctors urologists of the sort that i need to quit. But if i were to smoke a couple days after my operation, would it effect me in a negative way at all? (other than the regular negative effects of smoking)
