LOL what damage do you think smoking is going to do? They don't crumble and fall out. At the most they'd be discoloured but that doesn't warrant "getting new upper teeth".
And yes, I know people can get gum disease, but I'm pretty sure at 24 that's not the case here lol
My mum was a smoker and pretty much all of her teeth are now fake.

Actually that happened to one of the guys I work with, he's 26 and got his entire top and bottom front teeth replaced because he was a heavy smoker and the discolouring was so intense his teeth were actually rotting away as well...LOL what damage do you think smoking is going to do?

Thank you!!
Clearly the person who made that comment is in denial (that smoking doesn't damage teeth) OR hasn't done any biological studies...

No I haven't done biological studies lol.... glad to hear you have.
I'm sorry about your workmate but that is not common... I have NEVER heard of rotting teeth from smoking. Are you sure they weren't bad anyway?
As for the mum comment, well that's why I added the part about gum disease and older people who have been smoking for a long time. I know that happens.

lol, I have no idea...I work with him, we aren't best friends...

all he said was that smoking does super serious nasty damage to teeth (and pretty much all of your body)
actually it's pretty common, a lot of people smoke and end up with festering teeth, and if you've already had really bad teeth (genetics) you'd be more prone to more damage.
