As long as possible for the most successful healing. Smoking will impede circulation, invite infection, and encourage dry socket. But, ultimately, the choice is yours.
I'm a smoker too (Bad habit I also know) and whenever I've had a tooth extracted I've been told not to smoke afterwards. I know it's difficult though and I just can't resist. (Bad me) I tried to compensate by giving my mouth a good swill with mouthwash or such afterwards in order to prevent any infections. So far I've been lucky.
Talk to your dentist about this. Smoking encourages dry socket, which is very painful. The thought of having a full mouth of dry sockets would be enough to make me not smoke. Good luck with the extractions.
The best answer is as long as you can go without, if you smoke you can infect the sockets where the teeth have been removed, this will cause you immense pain and you shouldn't make yourself suffer any more than you already will. Best of luck, if you have any further questions please contact me.
Basically as long as you possibly can! There is no hard and fast rule but smoking will delay the healing of your sockets.
There is no time after which it's OK to smoke. Until the sockets are completely healed, smoking will always delay the healing. Healing of something like that will take several weeks- maybe this is a good time to give up?
It'll be the same. Smoking thins the blood and prevents natural clotting, so it really is best to try and avoid it, especially if you are having several taken out.
