People are always saying that smoking is bad for you, but they never really give a reason why it is bad. One reason smoking effects one’s health is it can cause mouth/oral cancer. I choose to do the topic of how smoking causes oral cancer because I have a friend whose mom how has been suffering with oral cancer going on nine years now.
