Could there be a good chance of getting oral cancer if you dip?

Very good: Your are bathing your oral mucosa with the carcinogens that leach out of the tobacco. The sooner you quit the better your chances of not developing carcinoma.

High risk: Smokers and dippers are many times more likely than non-smokers and/or non-consumers of alcohol to develop these cancers.
