Answers:
im sure you'll be fine if you just tell the anesthesiologist that you smoke, and if you're really worried ask him or her about the affects on smoking with anesthesia!. im sure they'll be much more expert about it then whatever you are reading!
just remember, they probably deal with this kind of thing every day, and although your worried its probably second nature for them to sort out whatever they have to do, so as long as they KNOW you smoke, they'll take good care of you!. its what they are paid for!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
