A member asked:
I had my upper left wisdom pulled with no stitches. easy extraction. how long until i can safely smoke or use a straw. pulled on 5/24 am now its 5/27 ?

How long???: You must have been sound asleep for the past 6 decades! You can NEVER safely smoke! Cigarette smoking is a legally sanctioned poison which the government permits because it taxes it. The use of it causes all sorts of nasty diseases from cancer to emphysema to heart disease. It is NEVER safe. Stop using it.
