With the Trump Administration’s recent ban in flavored E-Cigarettes, we believe this will lead to an overall higher outlook in people smoking regular tobacco cigarettes or even tobacco flavored E-cigarettes (which have a higher nicotine percentage than flavored ones like mint).
Smoking tobacco products like cigarettes are one the most leading causes of bad breath, a.k.a. Halitosis. If you smoke, whether at work or at home, chances are, your family, loved ones, or even coworkers have to put up with you smelling like a Las Vegas casino after your smoke session. Smoking creates a harsh, dry environment in your mouth by limiting saliva, which is responsible for what breaks down the odor causing food particles and debris that is stuck in your teeth and gums. With the compounding effect of the smoke exhalation, saliva production will become limited and with the addition of adding those toxic chemicals in your mouth, bad breath can and will progressively worsen over the years.
The immediate cause of bad breath from smoking is are the very toxic smoke particles that are inhaled and exhaled through your throat and lungs. They can remain inside your body for a very long time, which is why the scent of an ashtray lingers around you and your clothes after smoking.
If we take a deeper look into the chemicals of tobacco, you’ll find that research discovers that tobacco contains over 60 aromatic hydrocarbons, which are linked to even cancer, lung diseases, along with the negative effect of bad breath. Smoking even a quarter of a cigarette will leave some of these deposits in your mouth, effectively making you want to frequently spit when you smoke a cigarette.
Smoking can even cause staining of the gums and teeth – take a closer look at older smokers for their teeth and gums, they’re usually stained yellow, and you’ll see some blackening on the gums. In addition to staining the oral cavity, smoking can even desensitize your sense of taste, making food not as pleasurable. Another long term effect of smoking is the buildup of tartar, which is also associated with people with Halitosis, as they frequently have higher deposits of tartar and plaque built up in their teeth due to poor oral hygiene care. To add even more insult to smokers, gum disease caused by smoking can also even lead to Halitosis.
In extreme cases, if you’ve been a frequent smoker for years, and you’re concerned with bad breath, be wary that bad breath associated with smoking can also indicate early signs of oral cancer. The number one best way to reduce the risk of cancer and to limit the effects of bad breath that smoking has is to stop smoking. We know, of course, that it isn’t easy, and might not be a practical option at this point. If you’ve accepted these long term effects that smoking has, that is 100% fine, but be considerate of others too. If you get feedback from others about how you smell and they’re honest enough to tell you, they’ll tell you that you smell like a Las Vegas casino or an ashtray, somewhere along those lines. Mostly it’s going to be negative feedback. Although smoking can be a great icebreaker, if we look at dating, smoking has negative consequences as people who don’t smoke are generally reluctant to date someone who does smoke.
Stopping smoking will ultimately restore the saliva production in your mouth, so that your mouth will be cleansed of dense food particles, immediately improving your breath.
