Vaping and wound healing after surgery

I’m scheduled to undergo a breast reduction next week. My surgeon said that the nicotine in vaping could cause problems with healing. A year ago, I had a vagal nerve stimulator implanted and both the neck and the chest incisions healed up nicely even though I was vaping at the time.

I came across this article: Vaping Slows Wound Healing Just as much as Smoking

I’m wondering what are other peoples’ thoughts and experiences with this?
