how do you know that it's not O2 replacement by CO ? huh
THAT is the reason for flap necrosis. Not enough O2.
Stop relying on textbooks written in the forties by old men who never read the current journals. QUOTE]
Funny stuff dude....
I just referenced a recent study (you know, the "hamster" study you misinterpreted) which definitively illustrates the vasoconstrictive effects of nicotine on skin flaps....
From said study:
[b]"In summary, we demonstrated for the first time that acute nicotine treatment amplified the skin vasoconstrictor effect of NE and impaired the endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation in isolated perfused human skin flaps preconstricted with NE."
You study is inconclusive and doesn't take into account many factors which are necessary to make this a valid link to prove you opinion.
What "factors" would those be???
This is a seminal study on the subject and has been referenced and replicated many times over...
"My" opinion on the effects of nicotine happens to be the prevailing "opinion" of clinicians, surgeons and scientists who routinely study this topic experimentally and/or apply the principles clinically....

THAT'S THE PROBLEM !
You THINK you already know everything and keep referencing and replicating the same tired old theories instead of thinking once in a while. STOP COASTING THROUGH YOUR CAREER AND WORK !
Increase platelets, reduce carbon monoxide and your skin flaps will be viable.

Dude, you have no idea what you are talking about.....it is very clear.....
That paper is from 2001.....the data is sound. No need to "make up" other reasons out of thin air...
And....platelets??? What in god's name do you think increasing the number of platelets will do.....other than increase the risk of thrombosis and further increase the chance of necrosis...
You know, even as a smoker, I do like smokeless bars for the exact reason you stated. The first time I went to one (in Canada) I was a little ticked off. Then I realized that I did smoke less because it was so freaking cold outside I only went when I really wanted one. Well, the next morning I woke up feeling much much better even considering the massive amounts of alcohol I consumed the night before... I think you're right Blue!
When are other places going to ban smoking in bars? California did it more than a decade ago. The world didn't end, although CA has the 2nd lowest smoking rate (after Mormon dominated UT). hmmm
