I just had my wisdom teeth taken out and I
was wondering if anyone could give me an
idea of how long I should wait to start
smoking again. I've heard everything from
12 hours to 2 weeks

The minimum period should be 10 days.
The recommended period is 21 days.

Randy,please do not smoke for at least
48-72 hours-minimum.If you do,you run the
risk of dislodging the blood clot that
helps you heal.This is called "dry socket"
and is very painful.If you need the
nicotine,get yourself a patch at the
drugstore.Good luck!!Patty
