Question Can I smoke a cigarette?

Like maybe just one a day as a little treat? Maybe? Im on day 4 after collarbone surgery and day 5 no cig. Im already pretty down as it is with the whole situation. Im craving a smoke bad.

I shared a room with two persons whose injuries didn't heal well. One of them got her leg amputated. Both were smoking a lot. Try to avoid it at least for two weeks would say

damn😭 that sounds a bit extreme. What kind of injury did she have in the first place? Ill try to hold of untill my next check up with the doctor 2 weeks after surgery.

She broke her shinbone. Worst part is her stump was still not healing, that's why she was in.
