If i chew tobacco1/2 can or less a day and breastfeed how bad is it for baby (i'm trying to quit as i know it's a bad habit) tia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chewing tobacco: moves the potential site of possible cancer from the lungs to the gums; it does not remove cancer risk. Please think of that for your baby and his/her future. Peace and good health.
