Smoking affects people’s physical health a lot. Smoking mainly affects people’s gums and teeth. People who smoke daily lose their teeth, have gum problems, and have major plaque. Studies have shown that many dental problems are caused by smoking, (http://www.stop-smoking-tips.com/effects-smoking-teeth.html). Although smokers may think that it can help them lose weight, really it makes people have a smaller appetite. Instead people can just go on a diet because it is healthier for their body and doesn’t affect their health. Smoking not only affects smoker’s physical health but also affects other people around them.
