How does smoking/using tobacco affect your mouth, teeth and gums?
And in addition...How does it affect your lungs?

A Dentist could answer much better, but as a self-hating smoker, I can tell you I have moderate discoloration of the teeth starting visibly, oh... Eight or so months after I visit the dentist for a thorough cleaning. Gingivitis is a problem, and my gums recede more quickly than a non-smoker. Not to mention smoker's breath.
The lungs? I believe it can best be described as a slow poisoning asphyxiation that leads to Cancer, Emphysema, Asthma, Chronic Bronchitis, and probably many other pulmonary diseases.

Well, it makes your teeth yellow and cause hallotosis. Aside from that, you can develope sores in the gums and in the lining of the jaw. From there, the corcenigens in tobacco can cause cancer of the mouth or throat. Not to mention the lungs as well.

Tobacco contains the alkaloid nicotine, a powerful neurotoxin that is particularly harmful to insects. All means of consuming tobacco result in the absorption of nicotine in varying amounts into the user's bloodstream, and over time the development of tolerance and dependence. Absorption quantity, frequency and speed seem to have a direct relationship with how strong a dependence and tolerance, if any, might be created. A lethal dose of nicotine is contained in as little as one half of a cigar or three cigarettes; however, only a fraction of the nicotine contained in these products is actually released into the smoke, and most clinically significant cases of nicotine poisoning are the result of concentrated forms of the compound used as insecticides. Other active alkaloids in tobacco include harmala alkaloids.
Major hazards of smoking tobacco, however, involve carcinogenic compounds in tobacco and tobacco smoke (The use of smokeless tobacco does not reduce these hazards). Many jurisdictions have enacted smoking bans in an effort to minimize possible damage to public health caused by tobacco smoking.

Smoking or using tobacco in all forms will affect your mouth, teeth and gums in a way of stains, bad odour and disease. The nicotine in tobacco when enters your lungs will narrow the space provided otherwise for oxygen to travel. In a span of more time passed in consuming tobacco, you will feel short of breath because of nicotine deposits into the passage of your lungs. This condition is known as Asthma. There is a chance of getting Cancer all the time.
Be careful and stop the use of tobacco in case you have a habit. You can save money and health simultaneously.
Best of health,
