Suggest Treatment For Tooth Abscess

I have a tooth abscess and made an appointment tomorrow morning to drain it, but it just burst. i'm still going to see my dentist tomorrow morning, but am a smoker and really would like one. I know this is probably a stupid question, but how long do I have to wait before I can have a cigarette?

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
Actually smoking can worsen the condition till a proper drainage of abscess is done through proper opening of tooth made by dentist.
Better you should discontinue it till you visit your dentist.
Hope it will help you.
