It’s not just the nicotine that the doctor wants to clear although nicotine raises heart rate,blood pressure, its effects also lowers resistance to infection. It is important for the lungs to get an opportunity to clear some of the gunk that tobacco leaves behind like the tar. Your hubby is going to have to have a general anesthetic and a machine will be breathing for him. It is urgent that his lungs be in good shape for this. For you to try to enable him to keep smoking longer than he should by asking this question is very strange. If you are a smoker, you need to quit smoking around him because second hand smoke can still cause problems for him.

If his doctor said to quit for 6 weeks, he should. Its not worth it to get an infection.
