A member asked:
What's the chances of mouth cancer if you only smoke or drink on occasion like 10 times a year i'm 22?

Still at risk: The chances of getting mouth cancer is still significant even though use tobacco occasionally. You are still getting more than enough exposure to cancer causing substances. At those infrequent times why do it at all, and take whatever chance it may be..

Unlikely: Unlikely. Oral cancer mostly related to frequent long term smoking and drinking.
