I've heard that I should avoid smoking after having my wisdom teeth removed, to avoid dislodging blood clots. How long should I wait? (Please refrain from posting answers about quitting smoking altogether.)

When I got mine taken out, I smoked the next day. Probably wasn't the smartest thing to do, but nothing bad happened. I would ask the dentist or surgeon what they think.

They typically recommend that you stay away from Straws and Smoking for at least three to four days after the procedure.

Wait at the very least 24 hrs; if you can't want 2-4 days and remember to rinse your mouth with some salt water
