Would i definitely get a dry socket if i smoke after getting two teeth removed?

Not necessarily: You will not necessarily develop a dry socket if you smoke after extraction, but this is a terrible idea. You have bleeding tissue and you're exposing it to smoke and tar! it will definitely complicate your healing. Save money; stop smoking :).
