Don't know, but...: I don't know if quitting smoking will be good for your gums, but it will certainly lower your risk of heart attack, stroke, emphysema, bronchitis, and cancer. But it's really hard to stay quit off. So get as much help as you can for it from your doc and do it in a planned manner.

Yes!: Smoking is harmful to all the soft tissues of your mouth. Congratulations on quiting! Your gums will be much happier now!

The good news: is that the risk of gum disease, tooth loss and many other general health and oral health problems decreases after you quit smoking or any tobacco use.
