I hate to jump on the bandwagon but you really should try to quit. If you don't care about your health, at least think about how much money you could save. One pack of smokes a day costs you upwards of $1,500 a year. You could take a nice trip, put a down payment on a car or save that money for a rainy day. I mainly quit because I'm a cheapo.
Since you just got four of your wisdom teeth pulled I assume you have health insurance. If you're mentally ready to quit but can't get over the chemical dependency, I recommend asking your doctor about a new smoking cessation drug called Chantix. I didn't need to take it to quit however clinical trial results look impressive. I used to work for a tobacco company so trust me, they fear these sorts of products.
Good luck!

I have to echo the previous two posters. As a former smoker myself, I have to say the sooner you quit the easier. The first couple days are the hardest, after that its just mental. If you are a drinker, you need to be extra vigilant when drinking. I quit 10 times before I quit for good, and 9 out of those ten times I started again when I was drunk.

There is no safe time to resume smoking. Quite frankly if you've gone this long, the nicotine is out of your system and you should just use this opportunity to quit smoking. I know you probably won't listen to what anyone says about it, but maybe you will care when you reach you 40s and can't climb a set of stairs from the damage you've done to your lungs!!!

Well, of course you know the best thing for your health is to quit smoking altogether. Smoking decreases your body's ability to heal and fight off infection, so the best thing to do is to not smoke- especailly after having any dental work done as the mouth is a prime source of bacteria.

Your oral surgeon should give you all the instructions you'll need.
