Hello,
Thanks for consulting HCM,
Read your query, as you have undergone extraction 3 days ago now you want to smoke now dont smoke as it is bad for your health and it can cause oral lesion also , as you have undergone extraction your socket healing will also get delayed and healing doesnt occur in time and may be blood clot will also get disloge after smoke .
I will advise you to quit your smoking habit that is injurious to your health also.
Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health.
Regards ,
Dr. Priyanka tiwari
