What is leukoplakia-nicotine?

Leukoplakia is a chronic inflammation of the oral mucosa. It occurs due to regular exposure of the mucous membrane to chemical and mechanical irritants. When tobacco smoke is regularly inhaled, the cells in the lining of the mucous membrane begin to break down. This process causes ulcers and erosions of the mucous membrane. If these symptoms are not treated, they can worsen and lead to irreversible changes in the structure of the mucous membrane.

Causes: Nicotine substances contained in cigarettes are the main causes of nicotine addiction.
