I was a dental assistant and saw alot of teeth and boneloss due to smoking including mine, i was always in the chair myself, smoking cuts off blood flow to the gums, and oral cancer is awful and sometimes have to have parts of the mouth and cheek removed along with the cancer, Smoking is nasty and very bad for our health :( Tresa My Milage:

One very serious
condition that often goes un-mentioned is that of oral cancer. Smoking
increases a number of other oral diseases as well. It’s said that approximately
one half of periodontists cases are attributed to current or former smokers.
