Chewing tobacco is not a healthy substitution for smoking cigarettes. In fact Chewing tobacco can be a lot more harmful to anyone who uses it.Chewing tobacco can lead to medical problems such as:
- Cancer of the mouth: cheek, tongue, gums, and lips
- Cancer of the lungs
- Cancer of the Pancreas
- Cancer of the Throat: pharynx, larynx, and esophagus
- Nicotine Dependence
- Tooth Decay
- Discoloration
- BAD BREATH!!!
Some of the ingredients in Chewing tobacco are:
- Nicotine
- Lead
- Formaldehyde
- Arsenic
- Cyanide
- Polonium 210 (polonium 210 is sometimes known as nuclear waste....)
Every time you dip you are putting these ingredients into your body. Many of these things have the ability to find their way down your throat and into your stomach where they will be doing more harm than good. 50% of users develop little white circles called leukoplakia in lining of their mouth. 2-4% of these little circles have the ability to turn into some form of mouth cancer.
If you are a user of chewing tobacco, I highly recommend that you try to stop. Chewing or Dipping can only do more harm than good to your body.
