Felicita started smoking at age 12. In her 30s and 40s, she had gum problems and loose teeth, but she didn’t know that smoking could harm her gums. Felicita had developed gum disease, and like many people, she did not have a lot of pain as the disease got worse. In this video from CDC’s Tips From Former Smokers campaign, Felicita talks about getting life-changing news from her dentist.
