6. Not Smoking

In addition to the multiple well-known risks of smoking, you should be aware that it does significantly increase the risk of complications of surgery, as well as osteoporosis. The risk of wound breakdown and infection as well as problems with bone healing are all increased. It is not clear how long these risks persist after stopping completely. It is best to stop smoking at least a month prior to surgery.

Vaping is almost certainly better, but unfortunately, vaping ingredients are not adequately disclosed or studied. Some may turn out to be terrible.
