I know of a local surgeon that will not attempt fusion on a smoker.

I quit a few months before the surgery. But have been stressed, being out of work and have been very tempted.  I find myself being in smoke filled rooms and am getting tempted . My surgeon advised me not to smoke, but was wondering if it would cause any damage.

I think I may have read somewhere on this site or another about a bone growth stimulator that can be prescribed .Stress can wreck your whole body not just your mind.
