If you already have dry sockets and have medicated numbing gauze inserted is it ok to smoke?
It is likely that the smoking caused the dry sockets. The suction created when you smoke can cause the blood clot to loosen and create a dry socket. If you continue to smoke, even with the gauze in place, you may continue to have problems.

Are there ways for a hard core smoker to smoke without getting a dry socket after wisdom teeth surgery?
First of all, it will be tempting to smoke, but wait AT LEAST 48 hours. It's vital during these first two days to let the blood clot settle. Myself, I smoke marijuana and I smoked 36 hours, but I took very light hits and barely sucked in. I'm lucky to not get dry socket, but for those unfortunate, smoking is a main cause. If, after 48 hours, you must smoke, try and take very small drags and don't suck too hard. Many people ignore these warnings and end up getting dry socket OUCH!
