World No Tobacco Day, observed every May 31st, is a global initiative to raise awareness about the health risks of tobacco use.

Nicotine and tar in cigarettes quickly turn pearly whites into yellow or brown. These chemicals cling to enamel and are tough to remove, even with good oral hygiene.

Tobacco slows healing by constricting blood vessels and reducing oxygen supply to tissues. This not only prolongs recovery but also increases the risk of complications and infections.

Long-term use significantly raises the risk of oral cancers, including cancers of the tongue, throat, cheeks, and lips. Early signs often go unnoticed until the disease has progressed.
