Smoking can weaken gums, damage the bone that supports teeth, and make it easier for harmful bacteria to grow.

When you quit, your body starts repairing itself.

Within about a year, the risk of gum disease begins to drop, and treatments for oral health problems are more likely to work.
Quitting isn’t just good for your lungs and heart - your smile benefits too.
