Abstract

This paper effects of cigarette smoking on nerves and oral health. Smoking adversely affects the trigeminal, lingual, and nasopalatine nerves, leading to taste and smell disturbances, xerostomia, and decreased somatosensory function. Additionally, cigarette smoke contains harmful chemicals such as carbon monoxide, tar, benzene, arsenic, and formaldehyde, which contribute to the development of chronic diseases such as lung cancer, COPD, stroke, and heart disease. Smoking also impedes oral health by negatively impacting wound healing and promoting bad breath, staining, and aging. The paper underscores the critical need for smoking cessation interventions and public education campaigns to raise awareness about the deleterious effects of cigarette smoking. Overall, prioritizing smoking cessation as part of a comprehensive approach to promoting healthy nerves and oral health is paramount. Keywords: Cigarette smoking, nerves, somatos, health effects, periodontal diseases, slow response, xerostomia.
