Vaping, Smoking & Cannabis: How They Stain Your Smile (And What You Can Do About It)
Let’s be real — your lifestyle habits show up in your smile. Whether you're a smoker, vaper, or occasionally use cannabis, tooth discolouration can creep in faster than you think. At Stunning Smiles, we’re here to help you understand what’s causing those stains — and how we can safely and effectively brighten things up again.
Why Smoking and Vaping Stain Teeth
Cigarettes and vapes often contain nicotine and tar, two of the biggest culprits behind yellowing and brown staining on teeth. Even “clear” vape liquids still break down into particles that can stick to enamel. Add to that dry mouth (a common side effect of smoking/vaping) and you’ve got the perfect environment for stains to settle in and build up over time.
What About Cannabis?
Cannabis can lead to staining for similar reasons — it reduces saliva flow and introduces plant-based compounds (like tars and resins) that cling to enamel. Regular use may cause dark brown or greyish stains, especially in hard-to-clean areas. And like smoking, it can also impact oral health overall.
How Teeth Whitening Can Help
We understand that quitting these habits isn’t always straightforward — and we’re not here to judge. What we can do is help you safely reverse the surface stains caused by these lifestyle choices.
At Stunning Smiles, we offer professional-grade, enamel-safe whitening treatments tailored to every smile. Here’s how we can help:
Our Whitening Packages
✅ Premium Package – Our signature treatment for noticeable, even results in one session. Perfect if you haven’t whitened before or it’s been a while 4-10 shades lighter.
✅ Elevate Package – Designed for heavy staining or smokers looking for 4–5+ shades of improvement. A powerful, longer session for stubborn stains.
✅ Brilliance Boost – Great for returning clients or those needing a quick top-up between events.
All of our treatments are performed by a qualified Oral Health Therapist (OHT), with your enamel health and long-term results at the core of everything we do.
Can I Keep Whitening If I Keep Vaping or Smoking?
Yes — but results may fade faster if habits continue daily. That’s why we recommend regular maintenance and great home care, including:
Using a whitening toothpaste and electric toothbrush
Rinsing with water after vaping/smoking
Booking top-up sessions every 3–6 months for stain control
