Had some thoughts.
Presumably, all dragons have at least, like, pseudo-lips, since they can differentiate between the "M" and "N" sounds. A lot of the dragons with rigid, taut jaws (e.g. Banescales, Nocturnes, Snappers) definitely wouldn't be able to pucker up, but you could still... I don't know, bump the jaws together?
Physical possibility notwithstanding, kissing usually has a lot of social signifiance-- how might that differ between breeds? Faes probably have some sort of replacement-kiss-gesture via their crests, like this emoji: [emoji=fae love size=2] I can almost certainly see a lot of the more gregarious breeds (Skydancers, Tundras, Banes) doing a cheek-kiss-for-greeting sort of thing, similar to the multitude of European customs surrounding that.
Almost all dragon breeds certainly have some sort of nuzzle gesture for affection, like when a cat rubs its face on you. I can't see this working too well for Imperials or Gnarlhorned Gaolers, though-- too much of a chance to lock horns together by accident.
Ridgebacks... probably don't kiss. There are logistical problems.

Ridgeback could totally kiss ... if they did that goblinshark extendo jaws.
This may or may not horrify every creature in the surrounding area.
Though I do see dragons as being more the type to nuzzle, lick or otherwise groom rather than kiss.

I agree with this, I think that kissing would be hard with such long snoots.

This is really weird. But no, dragons don't kiss. They aren't human. They could lick affectionately, boop noses, maybe preen feathers like some other animals. Despite the fact that some breeds may-possibly-who-knows have actual fleshy lips, it doesn't seem like something dragons would do. They're intelligent creatures sure, but it doesn't mean they're human and follow hum an behaviors. I'm actually one of those that dislikes when people humanize dragons too much.

Skydancers face eachother and lightly tap their muzzles against eachother on the sides- left to left, right to right, like how some birds smack beaks but gentler. No one can convince me otherwise.
