A member asked:
If i've been using smokeless tobacco for two years, how can i tell if i will get oral cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High risk: Smokeless tobacco greatly increases your chances of oral cancer. If you drink alcohol with it, the risk is even greater. You will inevitably get some form of oral pathology if you continue to use smokeless tobacco. Please stop immediately.
