A member asked:

I just had 4 wisdom teeth removed about 5 days ago, dissolvable stitches were used and the pain is mostly gone, would i be okay to smoke?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: As far as I am concerned it is never okay to smoke! You have already gone 5 days without smoking the physiological withdrawals from nicotine have already occurred. Now you just have to get over the habits and routine. Best time ever to quit see http://www.aafp.org/afp/2012/0315/p599.html
