I wouldn't recommend it, but since you already have a dry socket, I guess it can't get worse.

Two things:

1. The act of smoking can dislodge blood clots in your mouth.
2. The chemicals in cigarette smoke can cause a bad infection in the extraction sites.

Wait at LEAST 2 weeks to a month before smoking again. It is difficult, but the benefits far outweigh the consequences.
