Question:

Answers:
yes up to 24 hours before. most hospitals will not allow smoking,taking of medication, or eating/drinking after midnight before the day of the surgery

Other Answers:
i think you aere supposed to stop smoking 3 weeks before an operation if that's what you mean

if you have arms, you most certanlly can. if you don't, you still can but will need someone who will hold the cig!

You shouldn't smoke at all, because smoking slows down the healing process.

NO you should stop smoking.3-4 weeks beforehand.
Smoking affects your Blood pressure which can affect yoru recuperation. As well have other affects such as affect how much you bleed during surgery.
But in actuallity ask your doc or surgeon is the best answer.
Again it woul dbe better to know what kind of surgery. something major, then no smoking. minor might be ok. but doubtful.
