Smoking Harmful to Healthy Bacteria in the Mouth.
No real surprise that smoking can cause yet another health issue. According to a New Study, smoking causes the body to turn against its helpful bacteria, leaving smokers more vulnerable to oral disease. The mouth of a healthy person contains a stable ecosystem of beneficial bacteria. However, research on a smoker’s mouth shows a much more chaotic, diverse ecosystem that is much more susceptible to invasion by harmful bacteria.
