This can lead to gum erosion, ulcers, and tissue thinning due to vasoconstriction.

The narcologist noted that people who use such products often develop stomatitis, and teeth break down faster. The risk of diseases of the larynx, esophagus and intestines also increases.

Shurov added that it is possible to refrain from this only if the person himself has a strong desire. Doctors can only help those who want to get rid of this habit with, for example, nicotine replacement therapy.
