Methods: This is a descriptive study. The sample size in this study were 60 people who were taken using total sampling technique.
Results: In all respondents with a duration of smoking <5 years to >10 years, most of them experienced moderate gingivitis, and in all types of smokers, most of them also experienced moderate gingivitis but in heavy smokers there was no normal (healthy) gingiva. Most of the filter smokers suffer from moderate gingivitis (47%) and the non-filter smokers mostly have severe gingivitis (57%) and there is no normal gingiva. Mild gingivitis mostly affects the lower jaw (44%), moderate gingivitis mostly affects the upper jaw (37%), and severe gingivitis affects both the lower and upper jaws.
