A member asked:

How can smokeless tobacco effect your mental health?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It varies: In many people, beyond the known cancer risks, smokeless tobacco doesn't affect one's psyche. On the other hand i've seen patients with marked mood instability that goes away when they stop 'dipping'.
