Abstract

Worldwide, smoking poses a serious threat to public health. Numerous research has examined how active smoking affects health, and the overall harmful effects of active smoking are widely acknowledged. In contrast, it's unclear how passive smoking affects your health. A number of disorders, including female breast cancer, allergic rhinitis, allergic dermatitis, and food allergies, have been linked to smoking, both actively and passively. The typical oral and nasopharyngeal flora are altered by passive smoking, which increases the risk of upper airway infection. In addition to producing severe periodontitis, implant failure, gingival pigmentation in children and adults, primary and permanent tooth decay, and tooth loss, it can impair alveolar bone density. But research on the effects of passive smoking on health has not been fully compiled and is still mainly inconclusive. Consequently, the total systemic and oral negative consequences of passive smoking exposure are the focus of this review.
