Don't understand ?: Chewing tobacco, aside from staining your teeth and requiring you to spit constantly, which is not attractive to most other people, increases risk of head and neck cancer, and perhaps esophageal and stomach cancer as well. The absorbed nicotine increases heart disease. If you want to quit, there are many ways - nicotine gum, patches, Chantix, Zyban (bupropion) and support programs. Talk to doctor/pharmacist.
