I am just finished my dental implant today when can i resume smoking?

Smoking and implants: Bad idea, in general. Certainly, within the first 7-10 days after any oral surgery, you should not smoke to avoid problems with wound healing. After that, studies suggest that smoking may adversely affect implant integration with the bone, so the implant could fail. That said, in the long term, data regarding smoking and dental implants is controversial.

At least 4 weeks: It take approximately 4 weeks for all the cells and vascular change to take place around an implant. By the end of 4 weeks, soft tissue healing (gum healing) is finished and thus the implant heals with all the early osseointegration process. If patient has to smoke, try to limit to less than 5 cigarettes per day, which is the amount that have shown in research to allow a mouth normal healing.

As soon as you want: The fact is, you're taking an increased risk of implant failure due to smoking. If you're willing to accept the increased risk, smoke away. Why wait? Some people say that if you wait 1 or 2 weeks after surgery that this negates the effects of smoking. There is no evidence to support this claim. I suggest not smoking at all. If you do, you will always have risk of failure at any time.

You shouldn't: Smokers may have a 4x higher failure rate and increased risk of complications with implants. If you cannot or have no intention of quitting i would suggest waiting as long as absolutely possible before resuming smoking.

Never: It would be a good time to quit. Lower success rates on implants for smokers.
