Cigarette smoking providing temporary relief

Hi everyone.

Im a BB sufferer for 5 years now. Havent tried anything except mouth wases and small things.

One thing that I find useful is smoking. My BB is masked by smoking for at least 10 minutes.

Does this have anything which would hint toward bacterial / non-bacterial BB or something which could hint the cause of my BB. ?????

Im due removal of my wisdom tooth in a couple of months.

Please let us know afterwards whether it has helped or not.

First: You should quit smoking anyway...

Go to your ENT and let him/her judge your tonsils, your sinuses and so on.

Hi, sorry I dont know anything about bacterial or non bacterial bb, but i also smoke. I have smoked for about 7 years, and when I quit recently the taste in my mouth made me feel ill. As bad as it sounds, i would rather taste and smell of smoke than poop, although i fear my bb is now smoke and poop mixed together!

Therefore: Search the root cause and solve it. It's not impossible. Even if you have done everything there are still experts (e.g. Aydin Murat in Istanbul).

I agree that the root cause needs to be found, it's just the main issue I'm facing is money, or lack of money. Smoking just covers up the bad taste temporarily. I'm sure it's not impossible to find reason for some people's bb but without money it's nearly impossible, and so hard to get out of a vicious cycle of depression, doing nothing, losing confidence and feeling more depressed

there is an easy connection. smoke has an antibacterial effect. some foods are conserved with smoke for example. it kills bacteria and therefore gives you temporary relief. it can also mask the smell, but the problem is it manipulates the oral flora and let stubborn bacteria grow. besides you have to deal with mucous from the lungs that feed anerobic bacteria in your throat. to my mind smoking worsens the problem in long term.

A little more connection.
A little less alone.

Keep the conversation going.
