Vaping can cause irritation to the roof of your mouth, leading to dryness, discomfort, and in some cases, sores or an inflammation known as 'vaper’s tongue.' This is attributed to the chemicals and heat from the vapor. Over time, repeated exposure can alter the sense of taste and lead to oral health issues. Staying hydrated, using vapes at lower temperatures, and regular oral hygiene can help mitigate these effects.
