A member asked:
How does chew and skoal dip give you cancer? there's no smoke involved.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
While the: Smoke isn't innocuous, the carcinogens are in the tobacco. Regardless of the way you use it, there are cancer risks, and risks of addiction. Oral cancers and lip are the main ones with dip/snuff/chew. People in early adolescence have gotten cancer and died of this. Do yourself a favor, drop it.
