A member asked:

Throat sore when i yawn, i have an appointment in 3 weeks to see a throat specialist. i have a history of smokeless tobacco, im scared doc?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Low risk: I would say that smokeless products are less dangerous than actual smoke filled products. But, I would advise sticking to healthy living. So, something that you could discuss would be how to quit "smoking" altogether. I do hope that the workup is negative. Good luck.

Dr Willson and another doctor agreed
