Is it ok to smoke a cigarette after getting wisdom teeth pulled with gauze over the sockets?

Only if you want to take the risk and pain of dry sockets. Even if you have gauze over the open sockets you are still sucking in air and drawing that smoke and air into the sockets. Think about it. Gauze is not a solid bandage. It is absorbent to prevent bleeding but still allow a minimum amount of air to promote healing. When you are dragging on a cigarette you are increasing the volume of air to the at risk area drying up what the gauze is trying to keep moist for the purpose of healing. I would recommend strongly against it.

Is it possible for there to be no food in the holes where your wisdom teeth got pulled?
Yes it's possible to have food in the holes where you wisdom teeth got pulled. Due to the fact that you could have dry sockets. Always follow the directions that the dentist tells you or you will get dry sockets. When you get dry sockets you have to return to an Oral surgeon weekly to get you goz replaced. I hope this question fulfilled the answer. Thanks.
