Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Smoking is ceratinly associayted with oral and lung cancers. Since you have positive family history of cancer, your chances of having a dysplasia are even more. It is best to avoid this habit for your good.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
