They say that it causes constriction of capillaries and that reduced blood flow can impair healing after the surgery.

Be serious.

I mean, do what you want, but when someone else is paying for it, especially the taxpayers, listen to what they say.

Read the article. "If you're doing surgery, you're trying to get the bones to unite, and if you don't have good blood flow, the results aren't as good." Smoking restricts blood flow.
