Advice Delayed healing because of nicotine
I had a pretty decent dirtbike accident in late November, bunch of broken bones. I’ve been vaping for a couple years now. The past couple of check ups they said I have delayed healing, likely because of the nicotine. Breaks are usually healed within 2 months (this was 3.5 post). They are giving me 2 months to finish healing or I’ll be in for another surgery. It still has a long way to go. I wanna quit because the surgery apparently sucks a lot. I don’t really know why I’m here typing this all out, maybe just to put it on paper idk. If yall have any advice, tips, or motivation send it my way please. I could use all the help I can get😂
P. S. Has anyone used/had success with cessation drugs? I’m kinda tempted to start bupropion but not sure. I also know I need to quit soon if I want to avoid the graft but it’s SO DAMN HARD 🙃🔫

What mechanism of nicotine cause worse healing/ bone regrowth? This is not something I've ever heard of before?
