thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. any kind of smoking is not advised after tooth removal, because it creates a negative pressure and dislodges the clott and can result in infection like dry socket. so its better not to smoke for minimum of 3-5 days. if you still smoke it might not heal and you will get severe pain, it can get infected. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
