How does tobacco affect oral health?

Research indicates that vaping is much healthier than smoking, perhaps 95% safer than combustible cigarettes. However, when people cite this safety statistic, they usually refer to health problems related to smoking (respiratory diseases, cancer) and little attention is paid to oral health.
 
One thing you already know is that chewing tobacco can lead to a higher rate of oral cancer, but people don't know that smoking can have the same impact and can also cause staining of the teeth.
