when they say no smoking, they mean no smoking.

they say that because any type of smoking causes a negative pressure in your mouth, which will dislodge a blood clot if its strong enough to.

they say it because of the negative pressure, not the substance being smoked.

ive had molers bigger than my wisdom teeth pulled and i smoked and didnt get a dry socket, so theres no saying whether or not youre going to get a dry socket. it all depends on the negative pressure applied, i.e. "sucking" effect.
