GENERAL HEALTH:- vascular stenosis,lung cancer,heart attack,COPD,risk factor in alzheimer's disease,worsens the symptoms of crohn's disease,emphysema.
ORAL HEALTH:-oral cancer,gingivitis,periodontitis,halitosis/bad breath,tooth discoloration,tooth decay,smoker's palate,prolonged recovery from local anaesthesia,low success rate of dental implant procedures,increased risk of leukoplakia & erythroplakia,increased recurrance of oral diseases even after treatment
Generally, many diseases can be caused by smoking like abdominal aortic aneurysm, acute myeloid leukemia, cataract, lung cancer, cervical cancer, kidney cancer, pancreatic cancer, pneumonia, and stomach cancer. Oral health will be effected also by tobacco use. People who smoke or use smokeless tobacco are particularly at risk of developing oral cancer, increased risk of erythroplakia, increased risk of leukoplakia, reduced chences of implant success , periodontal (gum) disease. Tooth decay, tooth loss, bad breath (halitosis), stains & calculus, and discoloration of the white fillings.
Smoking has several ill effects on epithelium, connective tissue and vasculature in the oral cavity. Smokers have reduced /constricted vasculature , altered host bacterial interactions( decreased action of neutrophils on pathogens) , increase the epithelial pigmentation, and deep periodontal pockets palatally... A detailing on the effects of smoking on treatment results etc has been given in Textbooks of Periodontology-Carranza , Lindhe etc
smoking also has a role to play in being the major source of free radicals and tobacco smoke contains oxidants and prooxidant agents .Imbalances in free radical levels and reactive oxygen species with antioxidants may play a key rolein onset and development of several oral inflammatory pathologies
Smoking can be lead to a several desease as lung , heart but in the mouth many case of oral cancer like squamous carcinomas associate with alcool.
I agree with all poster replies. Cigarette smoking harms nearly every organ of the human body, thereby causing a broad range of diseases, at least 24 of which are fatal, as well as a massive burden of chronic illness. It has been causally associated with increased mortality from several diseases such as cancers, respiratory diseases and cardiovascular diseases. Males and females who smoke face similar risks for males and females who smoke face similar risks for these major causes of death major causes of death.
