A member asked:
Can the type of chewing tobacco affect the time it could take to develop cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Perhaps: Many factors affect the development of cancer including at least 28 chemicals (carcinogens) in smokeless tobacco which can cause cancer. The most harmful are nitrosamines which vary by product and scientists have found that the nitrosamine level is directly related to the risk of cancer.
