Vaping threatens oral health as much as smoking

For years, it has been known that smoking can contribute to serious damage on gum and oral health, with smokers having more gum diseases, more tooth loss, and increased levels of oral cancer. It has also been known that gum disease can play a negative role on systemic health, e.g., it is implicated in diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, and others. In parallel, regular warnings against vaping usually only highlight its damage to the heart and lungs, but do not refer to oral health.
