Oral ca: Cancer of the mouth and throat are associated with chewing smokeless tobacco, human papilloma virus, alcohol and other factors. It takes several years and consistency of chewing tobacco to develop cancer. It is very unlikely that kissing your husband could cause this to happen. This is an extremely disgusting habit and unhealthy and your husband should stop it.
