How often do you have to chew tobacco in order to develop oral cancer?

Better chance: Tobacco usage in any form and in any frequency increases your chances for mouth cancer by exposing your tissues to hundreds of toxic chemicals proven to cause cancer. Why take the risk? Stop all forms of tobacco use and enjoy life!

No answer: There is no easy answer to this question. Tobacco chewing is a risk factor for all oral cancers. It is bad for you and the habit should be discontinued. You may need professional help in this regard. Please seek it out.

Best answer- QUIT: People react differently to stimuli, especially chewing tobacco. It is like placing a burning cigarette inside your mouth, but more concentrated. Don't take the chance. Oral changes can occur quite quickly, and those changes may lead to cancer. Quit!
