After no research and using what laying around, I present to you the solution to smoking after oral surgery: cheap gravity bong

Why is this a solution? Dry socket is caused by the removal of blood clots formed in the cavity where your tooth was removed. The root cause is removal of the blood clot, which usually happens when you suck through a straw or smoke ciggarettes. With a gravity bong, air pressure forces smoke into your lungs thus eliminating the usual suction encountered with cig/joint smoking.
This was constructed using a water bottle, measuring cup, and a loaned bowl/stem from my regular piece. Raise the bowl with a lighter, then remove the bowl and push the water bottle down. The air pressure will send smoke in a column out of the stem.

So if you get a tooth pulled and the DDS tells you not to smoke for a couple weeks... just say OK and build yourself a gravity bong. Problem solved!
