I'm wondering how long would it take to get oral cancer from chewing tabacco?

Variable: It usually takes a number of years, but it is not worth trying your luck. Please stop using tobacco in any form, immediately as the risk of cancer is directly proportional to the time of exposure to this carcinogen.
