NO it isn't. The suction created by drawing on a cigarette can and will create a dry socket, something that is extremely painful and difficult to heal up. Don't go there, take this as an excellent opportunity to quit.

No this is an extremely bad idea for lots of reasons. Infection, the chemicals in cigarettes majorly slow down healing of any kind and the suction is going to cause more problems.

Don't know if it's good for you or not -- I
did years ago and was none the worse for
wear. Don't smoke now, and suggest that
if you ever thought of quitting, now is a good
choice to get a start boost.

IS IT OKAY TO SMOKE AFTER A WISDOM TOOTH EXTRACTION?
NO
WHY?
VERY EASY TO LOSE THE BLOOD CLOT AND CAUSE DRY SOCKET=WORST PAIN EVER.
IF YOU MUST SMOKE WAIT AT LEAST 48 HOURS AND GENTLY PUFF.
FYI SMOKING CASES DELAYED HEALING OF THE EXTRACTION SITES.

Nope, will cause dry socket. Just take some pain meds and knock yourself out so you forget about it.
