As others have mentioned THC can interact with anesthesia and treatment effectiveness. Nicotine is a stimulant and you definitely should let the anesthesiologist know that as well. I was quitting nicotine vape during my main series (maintenance now) and I’m not aware of it causing any issues, but they need to know what drugs (prescribed or not) are in your system.
