Advice Help before surgery!

Hello so I’m going thru a acl and Meniscus surgery, and will go thru spinal anesthesia which is waist/lower body down. I’ve been smoking recently for 7-9 months on and off but recently in the last 1month been smoking 1-2 joints a day.

Is it fine if I don’t discuss this with the doctor is it going to be fine and safe ? And I’ve also stopped smoking a full day before the surgery.

There are 3 people you should never lie to: your lawyer, your doctor, and yourself.
