You should wait ~24 hours to avoid dry socket. Trust me - it's much worse than the cravings.

Dry socket is not pleasant. However, if the spot is still covered from the tooth removal and the area is moist, light it up. Otherwise, I would suggest 48 hours.

I say quit forever. But I have the feeling you won't. Atleast wait long enough for your mouth to heal. By that I mean all the sockets to close up completely. Your choice, your health. Think about it.

Just quit that bad habit altogether!! Besides all kinds of health reasons think about wrinkles!!! I could have cared less about cancer when I quit in 1976, but when I heard that the smoke that floats around your face gave you wrinkles, honey, I gave that **** up in a weekend!

As long as it takes you to get out of the hospital into a smoking area.

I only waited 24 hours...bad idea. Got dry sockets...wish I would have waited longer.

Why do you ask? Are you worried about your health? If so, then don't smoke ever again!
(although, if you really want one...then you can just stuff a bunch of cotton over the holes and go have one.)
