Not sure of ?: Are you saying you have cancer after 1 1/2 years of chewing tobacco? That would be highly unusual, but if that is the case, your chances of survival will be greatly increased by stopping the tobacco use. If you don't have cancer, but are concerned about risk, same advice. Chewing tobacco may not cause lung cancer, but has same association with increased heart disease, stroke and head/neck cancer
