Has anyone found smoking cigarettes to be a leading cause of their flare ups?

Okay, so I’ve been thinking about surgery. I am a smoker but I’ve had HS since I was 13 (21 now) I only started smoking at 17. I honestly cannot remember if my HS got worse due to smoking but I’m wondering, and I know we should quit smoking, if I get surgery, is the smoking 100% going to bring my flare ups back? Is it possible that tobacco doesn’t contribute at all? I’m scared that if I ever touch a cigarette again after surgery, I’ll have gone through it for nothing. I need some advice based on experience please.
