A member asked:
Is chewing tobacco particularly bad if you are diabetic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Chewing tobacco is always bad. If you are diabetic, you already have a health issue. Healing is compromised, now you add chewing tobacco which causes severe tissue damage and the body's ability to heal is less.
