A member asked:

Hi i'm a 22 year old female and have smoked for a year i noticed that i can see veins on the roof of my mouth and i was wondering if its normal.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Smoking irritation: Although it is normal to have fine veins on the palate, individuals who smoke typically have inflamed oral membranes from chronic irritation. This could account for more prominent veins.
