I have grown wisdom teeth but I haven't pulled them out yet, one of the wisdom teeth irritates my cheek a lot and a very painful wound got in my mouth, without thinking about it I smoked disposables at that time, does it have any effect on this wound? or not? And if so, should I do something? Should I just stop smoking and do nothing, or should I take some steps?

As a rule, cigarette smoke has a negative effect on the condition of the oral mucosa. Smoking cigarettes can hinder the healing of wounds within it. In this situation, as well as for your overall health, I would recommend quitting smoking e-cigarettes. I am attaching a useful article:

I also recommend consulting a dentist who will suggest appropriate treatment. Perhaps due to the fact that the wisdom tooth has grown at the wrong angle and does not fit into the dental arch, it will be necessary to remove it. Its improper position can contribute to constant irritation of the mucosa, contributing to hindered wound healing or its recurrence.
In the meantime, to reduce pain and support wound healing, it is worth avoiding the consumption of highly spiced or hot foods and drinks (including alcoholic beverages, as alcohol hinders wound healing). When brushing your teeth, be careful not to further irritate the wound - it may be a good idea to replace the toothbrush with a "soft" one. If the pain is severe, the use of painkillers may be considered, e.g.:
