I quit dipping about 3 weeks ago and i've been dipping on and off for a couple years. i'm 21. what's my risk of cancer?

Well, it's there.: Hard to quantify, but your risk of cancer is higher than if you never dipped, of course. Good thing you stopped. Make sure your dentist performs a thorough oral examination every time you go for your checkup (twice yearly).
