Answers:
Your mouth is absolutely yellowy-browny-pasty because you smoke and only because you smoke!. In the dental field, we call it hairy tongue or furry tongue!. There's nothing you can do to make it go away except stopping smoking!.!.!.period!. If you don't want to stop smoking you can try brushing it really well to try and cut down on the smell, but nothing else will cure it!. And it does smell yucky - we can smell it through our masks at the dentist office!. The dentist can tell you're a smoker even if you lie about it because just about all smokers have this!. It's just more or less apparent depending on how much you smoke!. (And smoking pot counts too!.)

True that coffee and tea will stain your teeth, but they don't stain your tongue!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you're driniking hot tea, you could have burned your tongue!. This would cause discoloration!. You should at least brush your tongue twice a day!. Especially when you smoke, drink coffee, and drink tea!. These are some of the worst things you can do to your mouth!. You're lucky your teeth aren't falling out by now!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Doesn't sound like anything to worry about!. My tongue sometimes has a yellow coat on it!. I also drink coffee and smoke!. When brushing my teeth I brush my tongue and it helps!. If it gets sore or doesn't improve after brushing then go see a doc!. May be a touch of thrush!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

there is nothing to worry about unless you start seeing sores or anything!. all of the things you listed are a contributing factor to the coating!. it probably won't go away but brush, floss and mouthwash daily to protect from anything serious!. quit smoking k!? thanks!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
