Smoking is not allowed immediately after tooth extraction, because there will be wounds on the local surface after tooth extraction. If smoking, it will affect the formation of wound blood clots, or remove blood clots, resulting in wound infection and dry socket disease. It is generally recommended to smoke two days after tooth extraction, and the effect on wounds will be relatively small.
