A member asked:
Is it possible for you to get a cough from chewing tobacco?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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!!!
