Will Smoking Have Any Effect On The Teeth Extraction Surgery?

Hello, I am having 4 wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow morning at 9 am. I have smoked cannabis and tobacco 4 days ago (last Thursday). I just wanted to make sure this will have no affect on my surgery. Also I was wondering how long after surgery until I can resume cannabis use.

Dear user,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.
I had gone through your query and understand your concerns.
Smoke with cannabis and tobacco is not effective after 4 days,if you are abstinent,
Cannabis inter fare with wound healing,increasing the infection risk,
So you should discontinuing the cannabis until wound heal proper,
Wish your good health,
