smoking wont dissolve the stitches, it will just retard the healing process and possibly cause an infection. i was translating this morning for a spanish gentleman who was complaining that his gums wouldnt stop bleeding around the entry point of a recent root canal. i had to keep telling him that he had to stop smoking or the wound wouldnt heal. he told me he thought it helped.
