Comparative analysis of cytological changes in the buccal mucosa among traditional cigarette and electronic cigarette users
This study demonstrates a strong association between smoking and cytomorphological changes in the buccal mucosa, with severity linked to smoking duration and intensity, particularly in traditional and dual users. The findings highlight the cytotoxic impact of smoking on oral cells and the need for targeted public health interventions.
