Question Smoking after WLS?

I thought of this as I was reading another thread about people quitting before their surgery to reduce complications during the procedure and recovery. But what about after that? Do people resume smoking? Other than the obvious risks of smoking alone, is it worse to smoke cigarettes after you've had WLS? If so, why?
