Smoking can slow down and interfere with the healing of bones, skin and other body tissues. You are more likely to have wound infection after surgery, longer healing times, problems with new scars opening up and bad scarring. And there are lot of other complications from smoking,,, please quite smoking.

What could be causing this recurring problem, and what else can I do to finally get rid of it?
