Tobacco and cannabis are always bad for you, every organ of your body and not something you should ask for permission to do.

So let rephrase, when is it OK to smoke tobacco and cannabis, in order to not endanger the healing process after the surgery?

It depends on how you're healing and that is one question for sure that should be directed to your surgeon.
