Question: After having 5 teeth extracted, how long do i have to wait to smoke or drink with a straw.?
Answers:
we normally suggest not smoking for at least 48 hours or longer because we do not want to put any of those chemicals into an open area in your mouth, and at least 48 hours to avoid drinking with a straw. both things draw blood to the area because of the suction process, you want to avoid extra blood being drawn to the extraction site because you'll just have excessive bleeding otherwise.

You should avoid smoking and drinking with straw for 48 hours. For complete information on do's and don'ts after tooth extraction you can read the following very informative article
