I heard it can cause a "dry socket" and a pal of mine was advised not to smoke until his gums healed. It makes since if you want to keep bacteria from the smoke infecting your mouth/gums. Better to be safe than sorry. You shouldn't need to smoke if they give you decent enough pain killers anyway. Those will knock you out and you won't even remember to smoke.

NEVER! you shouldn't be smoking at all!
I just had my upper left wisdom tooth extracted at about 3:30 today....It is 11:08 pm and I have no pain. So I honestly am not sure, but have heard that other people complain about pain for weeks afterward, and also it can hurt in your ear, or your throat and other weird places. I'd assume it is normal since while they pulled out the wisdom tooth they probably wiggled the other nerves around as well. I wouldn't worry about it.
