10 Causes of Dry Mouth
Cause #6: Smoking
Many people all over the world enjoy smoking. Nicotine has a calming effect that helps us to relax and is generally enjoyed throughout the day. In recent decades, though, we have come to learn that smoking tobacco is bad for us. Very bad indeed. The long-term effects can be catastrophic while it does have some short-term effects also.
One side effect of smoking is a dry mouth. To be more accurate, smoking doesn’t actually cause dry mouth in itself but it can make symptoms considerably worse. While a dry mouth can be quite uncomfortable, there are far more pressing reasons to consider quitting.
