Smokers often experience oral and throat problems such as bad breath, dry mouth, and retching, which can lead to awkward situations in daily social interactions. Experts point out that white tea clears heat and reduces inflammation, especially aged white tea, which has been used as a traditional remedy in folk medicine since ancient times, with no side effects. Smoking causes throat inflammation and swelling, oral odor, and dry mouth. Regularly drinking moderately concentrated white tea can clear heat, promote fluid production, resolve phlegm, clear heat, and eliminate bad breath.

Research suggests that aged white tea has more significant bactericidal effects than green tea. Dr. Milton Schiffenbauer from Pace University in New York recently noted that he and his researchers mixed white tea into toothpaste and applied it to experimental plates containing bacteria. Experiments proved that toothpaste mixed with white tea significantly enhanced its bactericidal ability. Therefore, he believes that drinking more white tea helps maintain oral cleanliness and health, alleviating oral discomfort caused by smoking.

Additionally, some compounds in tobacco smoke can lead to thickening of the arterial lining, a significant reduction in gastric acid secretion, and elevated blood sugar. The natural and uniquely simple processing of white tea better preserves the catechins and other specific compounds found in tea leaves. These can effectively prevent cholesterol from depositing on blood vessel walls, increase gastrointestinal motility, and lower blood and urine sugar levels. Hence, smokers should regularly drink more aged white tea to reduce the occurrence of these smoking-related symptoms. At the same time, white tea has diuretic and detoxifying properties, allowing some tobacco toxins to be excreted in urine, reducing their retention time in the body.

During the hot summer, when heat is already hard to bear, smokers are more prone to internal heat. Clearing dryness and dissipating heat is essential. Drinking aged white tea appropriately is recommended because white tea contains various amino acids. After years of aging and the conversion of many active enzymes, it gains better fever-reducing, heat-clearing, and detoxifying effects. Therefore, in summer, smokers can drink more aged white tea to help prevent heatstroke and cool down. Of course, non-smokers can also drink aged white tea for its many benefits.
