We all know how bad smoking and tobacco are for your overall health. Consequentially, it can have many negative effects on your oral health. Smoking and using tobacco can have the obvious effect of bad breath, which can interfere with one's social life. But there are many other consequences of choosing to smoke or use tobacco.
Smoking can affect your mouth cosmetically by staining both your teeth and your tongue.
Plaque and tartar will build up your teeth more easily if you use tobacco.
Gum disease, a leading cause of tooth loss, can prevail in a tobacco user's mouth.
Tobacco use can alter everyday life by dulling sense of taste and smell.
Smoking and using tobacco can eventually cause oral cancer, which can ultimately lead to death.
The only way to reduce the risk of developing the problems above is by quitting smoking and tobacco use. Make sure to talk to your doctor or dentist so they can set you on the right path.

We always try to find the best way to stay healthy and beautiful whilst on a budget. What you really need to know when trying out products is how your skin will react to the ingredients. Not only do we need to know what will work for us but also what won't cost us the world.
