Question 1

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

Question 2

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 3

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 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

i have bumps on the back of my tongue and bad breath and i'm 16 and only done chew tobacco couple times , is it possible i have oral cancer?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: I do not think your tobacco usage has caused this,but you should be seen by your dentist or oral surgeon to verify.  You are probably referring to the row of taste buds on the back of your tongue.  Please be seen.  You should brush your teeth at least twice a day and you should use dental floss.  You should definitely NOT use any tobacco products!
