I have to get all four of my wisdom teeth cut out soon and I was wondering how bad it hurt (during and after). I also heard I can't smoke for a couple of days after surgery is this true? and is it alright if I dip instead?

1) You can't feel it during the procedure because they put you under anesthesia.
2) They give you pain pills for after, but it is going to hurt for a few days, perhaps more.
3) I wouldn't advise using ANY tobacco product until you're completely healed.

Yeah I wouldn't put anything in my mouth that doesn't go there until it's healed. Think of it like a cut on your arm, you wouldn't want to blow smoke all over the wound or rub dip in it.

I dont know from experience, but I would assume it doesnt hurt during, because they will probably numb it, or as Steph said, put you under
Afterward, it will probably hurt, especially while eating, but it won't be too bad
Don't worry about it, most people get them pulled.

As for tobacco, I would try to not use any until you are healed
