I am a smoker and i usually smoke 2-3 cig per day..dryness is all over the mouth including tongue! what should i do?

Stop smoking: Stop smoking and get a complete head and neck exam to check for oral cancer. Early detection is key. Prevention is even better! if you were grossly overweight and had trouble breathing and walking what would you do? Lose weight and exercise more or lie in bed, rest on the sofa and walk less? Address the cause and not the effects.
