Smoking causes blood vessels to constrict, decreasing the flow of blood and oxygen your body needs to heal properly causing healing to take longer. Nicotine and carbon monoxide is known to inhibit recover time, increases the risk of pulmonary complications and can impede wound healing, which may decrease the quality of surgical results. Most plastic surgeons urge patients not to smoke for at least 2 weeks before and after surgery. Some plastic surgeons offer smoking cessation aids, such as oral medication or nicotine patches. Consult your plastic surgeon.

I don't recommend it. I saw on the TV show 1000 Ways To Die an instance where a woman went on an airplane and her breast implants exploded. I'm not even kidding. Look it up.

There has been some evidence of a link between smoking and breast cancer.
In the past, some implants have blocked visual evidence (i.e. mammograms) of breast cancer.

Plastic surgeons insist that you stop smoking a few weeks on either side of breast augmentation surgery. Smoking can slow down the healing process and even lead to necrosis (tissue death) and you could end up losing your nipple or another part of your breast.
Here are pics of necrosis:

When you are a smoker it takes away any gains you made in your desirability through your breast augmentation.
