Smoking damages the alveoli, the tiny air sacs in the lungs responsible for gas exchange. It leads to inflammation and the destruction of alveolar walls, reducing their surface area and making it harder for oxygen to enter the bloodstream. This damage can contribute to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and emphysema, resulting in decreased lung function and respiratory difficulties. Over time, the accumulation of tar and toxins from smoking can also increase the risk of lung infections and other respiratory illnesses.

Does smoking with a chipped tooth give you more of a chance to get gum disease?

Yes. Smoking already increases the risk of gum disease because it weakens your immune system and reduces blood flow to your gums. If you also have a chipped tooth, bacteria can collect in the rough edges or cracks, making it easier for infection to start. Together, these factors raise the chance of developing gum disease. Quitting smoking and repairing the chipped tooth promptly are the best ways to protect your oral health.
