To find out whether smoking affects the prevalence and intraoral distribution ofCandida albicans, swabs and saliva samples from 100 healthy persons, smokers and non‐smokers, were cultured for the presence of this fungus. The prevalence was the same (35%) in both smokers and non‐smokers. Among carriers, the mean concentration ofC. albicanscolony‐forming units in saliva of smokers was twice that of the non‐smokers, and the isolation frequency ofC. albicansat each of 5 mucosai sites was also higher in smokers than in non‐smokers. However, a wide variation was found, and these differences were not significant at the 0.05 level. Men were carriers more often than women (p < 0.025), and the mucosal site from whichC. albicanswas recovered most often was the posterior dorsum of the tongue. Although it has previously been claimed that cigarette smoking influences the carrier state ofC. albicans, the present study suggests that the effect is only slight.
