Hi! I've been in dentistry for over 20 years and I do not preach to the choir. You should wait at least 24 hours or more. If you dislodge the blood clot you will get a dry socket and that is extremely painful and takes 3 times as long to heal.
However, if you must smoke AFTER 24 hours. Fold a piece of guaze in half, half again and bite down. Now smoke and only puff so you get some nicotine. I know this is difficlut, but just for 1-2 days. Then gently smoke after, but do NOT suck on the cigerette until the 3 day. Remember the salty water rinses 4-5 times a day for 1 week and you should be fine.

Just try it, if it doesnt hurt you should be fine. Obviously if you ask your dentist they arent going to want you to smoke. So just give it a try. Good luck!
