BAD: Chewing tobacco do not affect diabetes in particular. But i want to tell you that oral cancers from chewing tobaccos are among the most horrific cancers I have seen in my practice. I wish i could sow you a person with half of his tongue cut out, or missing his lower lip and half of his cheek from oral cancer due to chewing tobacco - to motivate you to quit this most terrible addiction.
