Had a wisdom tooth out today, had a lot of anxiety and need a cigarette.?

I had one wisdom tooth out around 11 am (10 hours ago), and I ended up having to go back around 3 pm because the bleeding wouldn't stop. I know that may not seem long to other people who have had this happen, but I have low blood sugar and couldn't eat. The surgeon put in a stitch and an artificial clot, and my instructions say not to smoke for 7 days. But smoking (and I don't mean anything more than 1 or 2 tonight) is the best way I have to reduce my anxiety right now. I know it is really the pulling on the cigarette which causes problems, and if I am careful would it be alright to have a cigarette tonight?

On the instruction sheet it also said I shouldn't drink alcohol for 7 days.

i know this won't be a very popular answer but, when i had a wisdom tooth removed i could not go without smoking. i made sure the area was well packed with gauze, kept my teeth clenched, and took very slow, shallow puffs and i never got dry socket. but you decide for yourself, i could have just been lucky.
