Smoking Weed Ups Risk Of Tooth Loss, Arizona State University Study

Smoking marijuana for a long time can put you at increased risk of gum diseases that can lead to tooth loss, says a study that found no other serious adverse physical effects of pot-smoking.

The study tracked nearly 1,000 New Zealanders from birth to age 38.

Tobacco users in the study were found to have gum disease as well as reduced lung function, systemic inflammation and indicators of poorer metabolic health.
