It would be better if you avoid smoking for 1 week to allow healing to complete more effectively. As smoking may delay healing. Rest its always your choice.

The fact is that smoking does interfere with healing. But. As you did not mention or report any trouble or complications after tooth extraction!. First, if you really followed the instructions and did restrict and did not smoke for these 5 days. I really feel and do not imagine any good reason as to why you posted such question. After all, it is a matter of another more hours. Second, if you were not following your operator's instructions, then you might as well should know all other determinants for enhancing healing/ (wound repair in case of post-extraction situation)? Next, last but not the least, what other treatment follow up is planned for your mouth? Your query depends and need to be answered only according to that.
