Dear alimta214: Smoking decreases circulation and can therefore influence healing. We would not recommend smoking at all but especially before and after surgery.
Smoking increases the risk of infection, etc -I think.
I doubt it would make a huge difference now but I would seriously consider (and attempt to) quit.
I think smoking are alcohol are several lifestyle factors which may also increase your risk of developing breast cancer, etc.
