While lung cancer is probably the most common disease associated with smoking cigarettes, mouth cancers are a danger to smokers as well as heavy drinkers too.

“While smoking is linked to three quarters of all mouth cancers, those that smoke and drink alcohol to excess increase their risk of mouth cancer by up to 30 times.”

Addiction Plays a Part in Every Part of Your Health

Alcoholism and tobacco addiction both come with heavy costs and that cost isn’t just coming from your wallet. The health concerns are real for your entire body and don’t forget about your mouth. Oral hygiene doesn’t just mean brushing and flossing your teeth. Anything you put in your mouth should be a concern too. So when it comes to mouth cancer, if you want to beat the odds, stay away from cigarettes and keep your drinking in moderation.
