I have bumps on the back of my tongue and bad breath and i'm 16 and only done chew tobacco couple times , is it possible i have oral cancer?

Not likely: I do not think your tobacco usage has caused this,but you should be seen by your dentist or oral surgeon to verify. You are probably referring to the row of taste buds on the back of your tongue. Please be seen. You should brush your teeth at least twice a day and you should use dental floss. You should definitely NOT use any tobacco products!

Absolutely not: no. However you can see how sensitive your system is to tobacco, so avoid all tobacco products forever!

Vague: See a dentist/oral surgeon and get it checked just to be sure.
