No sir i haven't asked questions related to pvr !!
Sir plzz comment
PVD is most often related to neglected or long standing retinal detachment. The risk declines over time after successful surgery. NOONE should smoke or use nicotine products. It kills millions each year. Don't worry about the relationship of smoking to PVR,  smoking is not a common cause of PVR.   Whereas smoking IS a common cause of cancer, heart and lung disease, strokes, sudden death, peripheral vascular disease, etc.
