Why you should not smoke during your maritime Jones Act claim

Should you stop smoking after you have a serious maritime injury accident? If your doctors tell you to stop smoking why are they doing that?

The company lawyer will come in and say that if you had stopped smoking chances are your injury may have gotten a little bit better. This is especially true if you're gonna have any type of surgery done.
