Stopping smoking can be hard, but the benefits to your health are worth it.

Quitting before your procedure or surgery is one of the best things you can do to improve your fitness to be ready for surgery, reduce the length of your hospital stay, and help you to heal faster during your recovery period.

Smoking before procedure puts you at a higher risk for post-operative heart attacks, stroke, blood clots, pneumonia and even death, so there has never been a better time to quit.
