A member asked:
I am a moderate smoker. would cessation now guarantee no future leukoplakia. or too late since mucosa is already damaged? (no leukoplakia right now)

See below: Speak to your MD about quitting. It is never too late to quit smoking. Any tobacco product is addictive so quitting would be to your benefit.
