Question 1

could chewing tobacco effect acute bronchitis in a bad manner?

Accepted Answer

TOBACCO: To answer your question, not likely. Just don't  miss the point- there is not a single tobacco formulation that is good for you or whomever you are asking for.

Question 2

can chewing tobacco a couple of times a day be bad for you? how?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Chewing tobacco is associated with certain types of cancer of the mouth and throat and should be avoided.

Question 3

is chewing tobacco particularly bad if you are diabetic?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Chewing tobacco is always bad.  If you are diabetic, you already have a health issue.  Healing is compromised, now you add chewing tobacco which causes severe tissue damage and the body's ability to heal is less.

Question 4

is smokeless tobacco or chewing tobacco bad for asthma?

Accepted Answer

No: For asthma, no. For cardiovascular diseases and oral cancer, yes. So if you do smoke and you have asthma switching from smoking to smokeless or chewing tobaccos is a step in the right direction. Still my goal would be to get you off tobacco completely. You may need the support of friends, family and people like you who want to quit but can't do it alone to achieve that goal.

Question 5

can you tell me how i could get my gums to heal faster from chewing tobacco?

Question 6

Perhaps: Many factors affect the development of cancer including at least 28 chemicals (carcinogens) in smokeless tobacco which can cause cancer. The most harmful are nitrosamines which vary by product and scientists have found that the nitrosamine level is directly related to the risk of cancer.

Question 10

could you get sick from kissing someone that's chewing tobacco?

Accepted Answer

Not contagiously: Using smokeless tobacco has no effect on the contagious potential of "swapping saliva". If you mean by "sick' the feeling of nausea, that is another story and a matter of personal taste and sensitivity. If by refusing to kiss someone who chews or "dips' they might  consider dicontinuation of the habit then you have done them a great service.
