How long does a spinal fusion take?

I am a 29 year old male. I want to know how long does a spinal fusion take?

It usually take 3-6 months. It also depends on how many levels of fusion. Please do not smoke since smoking will prevent fusion.
2-4 hours, depending on the number of levels fused and the complexity of the surgery.

Hope it helps!!
