Please help! does dipping tobacco like skoal have any health risks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dipping tobacco: The effects of dipping tobacco much less than cigarettes. The major problem is it can be addictive. There can be dental problems and gum problems with subsequent loss of teeth there's probably some slight increase in cardiovascular problems/ heart problem. Finally , the data on on cancer of the mouth and tongue is problematic. It is something you should look into yourself.
