A member asked:
I use dipping tobacco and have been for 3 years, i can taste my food but not my dip as much towards the tip and middle of my tongue.. i am 18 yrs old?

Known side effect of: tobacco on taste buds. Food gets its flavor partially from taste buds on the tongue but also largely from our sense of smell. Besides taste, tobacco can cause more harmful effects: dental caries, gum disease and recession, halitosis, and more importantly, oral cancer, beginning with leukoplacia, or white patches on the tissue. Make a decision to quit the habit now! Your doctor can help.
