I have strep b, and i want to chew tabacco but i'm concerned this will slow down the healing process for my throat. please weigh in!

Don't start: Don't start chewing tobacco. Not only will it slow healing, but it increases your risk for throat and esophageal cancers. Additionally it increases your risk for further oral infections as well as bad breath and teeth.
