Yes, smoking can contribute to the development of a mucocele, which is a cyst-like lesion that forms when a salivary gland is blocked or damaged. The irritants in tobacco smoke may lead to inflammation in the oral cavity, increasing the risk of gland obstruction. Additionally, smoking can negatively affect oral health, potentially exacerbating conditions that contribute to mucoceles. Maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding tobacco can help reduce this risk.
