It's been exactly 48 hours and 26 minutes since i had my right back molar extracted. would it be okay for me to smoke a cigarette or no?

Yes but: Yes, but it will likely increase the risk of a dry socket. If you wish to avoid a dry socket, wait one week For problems, see the wisdom tooth expert - the oral surgeon.

OK?: Smoking will increase risk of dry socket, slow the healing process, give you bad breath, prematurely age your facial skin, stain your fingers, turn your teeth brown, facilitate gum disease, cause oral, pharyngeal.esophageal, and lung cancer, increase risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney and liver disease, low birth weight babies, premature births, etc. it's been 2 days, try for 3, 4, more.
