    Tobacco use can harm oral health in several ways: 1) It causes staining of teeth, gum disease, premature tooth loss, bad breath, and poor wound healing. 2) Tobacco use increases the risk of periodontal disease, which are problems affecting the tissues that support teeth. 3) Nearly 90% of oral cancers are caused by tobacco consumption in the form of cigarettes, bidis, gutka, betel quid, hookli, hookah, and snuff. The risk of oral cancer is 7 times higher in those who chew betel quid.
