Isn’t spit tobacco safer to use than cigarettes?

0

Using spit tobacco (chewing tobacco or snuff) is not a safe alternative to smoking. Users still increase their risk of developing cancer of the mouth and throat. Using spit tobacco can cause various forms of cancer in and around the mouth and can cause leukoplakia (a precancerous sore), gum disease, receding gums, tooth loss, heart disease and stroke. In addition, the use of spit tobacco can cause bad breath, tooth abrasion, stained teeth, a lowered sense of taste and smell, and slow healing of mouth wounds.
