Use juices with nicotine is harmful for those who will do plastic surgery?

Hello guys, I'll have to submit myself to a surgery for hernia repair and abdominoplasty also do. The doctor does not know that e-cigs told me not to use liquid nicotine. Is nicotine harmful with minimal doses for surgery?
Thanks

Since nicotine restricts blood vessles it can impair your healing process. I used to work for a plastic surgeon and we always advised people to quit smoking 2 weeks prior to surgery. Those who did not, usually had healing problems. I would quit if your doc told you to. So sorry, I know how very hard it is to quit totally.

Would getting a 0 nic flavor be helpful in this situation to get thru the recovery time?

Its something all doctors are taught to say and its true for the reasons stated. That said its only one of many risk factors. Back in the day everybody smoked before and after surgeries. I remember when I crashed my motorcycle my parents helped me hold a cigarette in my mouth in the surgical recovery room, lol. At the time smoking was so pervasive nobody questioned it. The nurse brought me an ashtray. Today doctors know better.

Thanks everyone! I'm vape juices with low nicotine, and just to give a little taste. I tried the nic 0 but need to have a little nic.
