Chewing tobacco can qucikly cause oral cancer .


I mostly did what we called "dip" or "snuff" and the day I noticed it was starting to cause my gums to recede I said "Fuck that!".

Didn't take long either... it wasn't a habit for an extended period of time.



At least with my lungs I don't have to actually watch them disintegrate.

That has to count for something.

I don't know the difference between them. I never tried it. Growing up in Toronto, I never saw anybody with tobacco between their gums and cheek. It looks gross.

There is the urban legend that Copenhagen has fibreglass in it to make thousands of tiny cuts in the skin on the lips and inside of the mouth. The cuts allow the nicotine to come in direct contact with blood vessels, thereby greatly increasing the rate & quantity of nicotine delivery.

Chewing tobacco (aka "chaw") generally is sold in pouches and a big wad is "chewed" (actually just allowed to sit and marinate) on one side of the mouth or the other.

If someone looks like they've got a tennis ball in their cheek that someone's doing a chaw.



Dip or snuff is when someone takes a small pinch and puts it inside their mouth where the lip or cheek meets the gums, either in front or on the side (usually bottom lip but might be on top).

If someone looks like they're hiding a pen cap under their lip and against their gums then that someone is doing a dip/snuff.



It's all just tobacco though, usually with a bit of wintergreen or other flavoring.





Unless you enjoy spitting... like, a lot... don't bother trying it.

I never heard that but Copenhagen did/does shred its tobacco much finer than say Kodiak or Skoal.

It's almost like tobacco dust... which results in more being incidentally swallowed and no doubt speeds absorption via lip/gums too.

"snus" is a tobacco product that you put under your lip.



Its a lot more powerful than smokes.

It seems to be faster with some people..

I quit smoking when I was forty two. That is after twenty seven years of the habit. I wish I quit earlier, or better yet, never started.

My FIL is going to pass anytime now. I'm so thankful my kids had him for a grandfather. He has been such a positive influence in their lives.





My heart hurts :sad:
