Yes.: Smoking anything dries the mouth tissues making them more prone to infection.

No smoking: Yes it would be absolutely not advisable to smoke weed or tobacco especially after the extraction. Your surgery area will not heal and you may even end up having a dry socket which is an infected socket and causes severe pain. You should probably see you your physician who can recommend you a rehab center.
