Effect of smoking: The effect is more the destruction of the alveolus or the oxygen exchange apparatus so gases can become liquid and you can't breathe properly. Heat from hot smoke, caustic drugs in cigarette all lead to the destruction of the lungs. The point i make is, if smoking causes severe gum and bone loss around the teeth, the hardest structures in the body, when it goes to one of the most vulnerable, yikes.

Mutual support helps: Consider attending a meeting of nicotine anonymous. You might also use the nicotine patch as a way to gradually detox from nicotine.
