Why "NOT" smoke?

by SamuelsonScott
Even if your teeth will have a higher calculus (hardened plaque) then non smokers, your senses are dull. Taste and smell are hampered so that you prefer sweeter, saltier and spicy foods. When sweeter means more sugar, which means a greater risk of tooth decay... more salt will increase your risk of hyper tension and kidney disease. Not to mention bad breath lung and heart disease and oral cancer. Enough reasons not to smoke....then just .......DONT DO IT!
