Question 1

need to know is tobacco free chewing tobacco safe?

Accepted Answer

Probably, but ??: If it doesn't contain tobacco, it is undoubtedly safer in terms of not producing nicotine addiction and less likelihood of mouth and throat cancer.

It has nicotine,drug: If something makes you dizzy, it probably has a effect on your brain. If you don't like that happening, don't smoke. That is not good for you.

Question 9

Question 10

Yes: if you are swallowing the tobacco juice, some of it may reflux and end up in your trachea and larynx causing a cough.  One more reason to stop a harmful (and some would say disgusting) habit.  More important than cough is the potential for head and neck cancer (mouth, larynx, throat, esophagus). Get help in stopping now!!!
