It is estimated that over 400,000 Americans die each year from diseases linked to cigarette smoking. Women who smoke cannot avoid the problems related to smoking. Each cigarette does some harm.

Lung cancer and lung disease, heart attack, stillbirth (delivery of a baby that shows no sign of life), miscarriage (the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before the fetus can survive outside the uterus), and low birth weight babies (weighing less than 5 1/2 pounds at birth) are all linked to cigarette smoking. Lung cancer has become the number one cancer killer of women in some states. More American women die from lung cancer than from breast cancer. As many as 29% of American women smoke cigarettes.

Arthritis and Oral Health Cancer and Oral Health Dental Implants Dental Insurance Information ... Women and Oral Health Tobacco and Oral Health Extinguish the tobacco habit or watch your teeth fall out. Whether you smoke cigarettes, cigars, pipe, or dip or chew tobacco, you are more likely to have periodontal disease than those who do not use any form of tobacco at all. Smoking may be responsible for more than half of the cases of periodontal disease among adults in the United States, according to a study published in the Journal of Periodontology (JOP). The study found that current smokers are about four times more likely than people who have never smoked to have advanced periodontal disease. Many chemicals found in tobacco, such as nicotine and tar may have harmful effects on the periodontal tissues. One study even found that current smokers had more plaque and periodontal destruction than former or never smokers. As a result, tobacco users may be more likely to have calculus form on their teeth, have deeper pockets between the teeth and gums, and lose more of the bone and tissue that support the teeth. Loss of bone and tissue may potentially cause tooth loss. Research shows that smokers lose more teeth than nonsmokers. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only about 20 percent of people over age 65 who have never smoked are toothless, while a whopping 41.3 percent of daily smokers over age 65 are toothless.

For More Information Cigarette smoking causes a variety of life-threatening diseases, including lung cancer, emphysema, and heart disease. An estimated 430,000 deaths each year are directly caused by cigarette smoking. Smoking is responsible for changes in all parts of the body, including the digestive system. This fact can have serious consequences because it is the digestive system that converts foods into the nutrients the body needs to live. Current estimates indicate that about one-third of all adults smoke. And, while adult men seem to be smoking less, women and teenagers of both sexes seem to be smoking more. How does smoking affect the digestive system of all these people? Top Harmful Effects Smoking has been shown to have harmful effects on all parts of the digestive system, contributing to such common disorders as heartburn and peptic ulcers. It also increases the risk of Crohn's disease and possibly gallstones. Smoking seems to affect the liver, too, by changing the way it handles drugs and alcohol. In fact, there seems to be enough evidence to stop smoking solely on the basis of digestive distress. Top Heartburn Heartburn is common among Americans. More than 60 million Americans have heartburn at least once a month, and about 15 million have it daily.
