Mouth, Gums and Throat â Tobacco use can cause bad breath, tooth decay, cavities, stained teeth and gum disease. There is also a risk of getting cancer in the mouth, gums and throat, especially among smokeless tobacco users (who chew or suck on tobacco) and cigar smokers (who often hold the smoke in their mouth).
Here are some questions and answers about smokeless tobacco: Q. What Is Smokeless Tobacco? A. Chewing tobacco and snuff are the two main types of smokeless tobacco. Chewing tobacco usually comes in leaves or plugs that users put in their cheek pouches and then chew. Snuff is finely ground tobacco that users put between their gums and cheeks. Many people believe that smokeless tobacco is not dangerous, but that is not true. Smokeless tobacco has many bad side effects and serious health risks, including cancer and even death. Q Is Smokeless Tobacco Addictive? A. Yes. Like cigarettes, chewing tobacco and snuff contain nicotine - a highly addictive drug. Because the nicotine is absorbed into the bloodstream from the mouth, it takes longer to reach the brain. Smokeless tobacco users do not feel the effects of the nicotine as fast as cigarette users do. But about the same amount of nicotine enters their bloodstreams.
