A member asked:
Is it possible to contract mouth cancer by kissing someone that does dip?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, doubtful: Smoking, chewing tobacco and drinking alcohol can lead to oral cancer. A recent study showed that over 90% of oral cancers were associated with combining heavy smoking and heavy drinking. Kissing is not a heavy exposure and is not a factor that leads to oral cancer.
