A member asked:
Please explain if it is possible to get throat cancer from using dip tobacco?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I guess it is: .....Possible although you would be more concerned about cancer of the lip or tongue, the areas in direct contact with it. Please, don't do it. It is risky and in my opinion a truly disgusting habit. Even if you don't get cancer, you can damage your teeth and gums, and kill your smile.
