You're not suppost to smoke cuz it can give u dry sockets apparently (which are REALLY painful) my brother smoked when he got his removed he just rinsed his mouth with salt water every 5 seconds!

i think i smoked right away...but im not really a heavy smoker so i dont know if i really did...but i know something like that wouldn't stop me from having a puff if i needed it.

I smoked as soon as I regained conciousness. Then I had a beer and spicy italian sausage. If you read the information brochure they give you, that is precisely NOT what you're supposed to do.

But I didn't get dry socket, I just bled for 3 days straight.

Apparently ur not supposed to for like a good 4 days or so cause u can infect ur wounds but i didnt care i just smoked and nothing happened.

yeah, I agree.

when it comes to any wound, nicotine's got vasoconstricting effects that will reduce blood flow and nutrients to the skin. the carbon monoxide will also reduce oxygen metabolism and oxygen transport, all important things for wound healing.

yeh dont fuck with it man.. i waited AT LEAST 3-5 days till smoking again, just tough it out, enjoy some t3's, and the really annoying event of eating after u get ur wisdom teeth pulled.. it really isn't that painfull at all..i had no swelling, and it didn't hurt like 8 hrs after the operation... maybe i just have good genes though
