Sorry... I watched a video when I was 12 of someone losing their entire lower jaw to cancer because of that stuff... Kind of made it a bit of a turn off.

First of all I want to say that I am not trying to get anyone started dipping.  It is just something that I enjoy.

I just wanted to rebut some of the myths about smokeless tobacco.  Here is a link to a pdf that show just how safe dippin is in this day and age.  http://crobm.iadrjournals.org/cgi/reprint/15/5/252.pdf

If you don't want to read it I will summarize briefly.  Back in the 70's and 80's the TSNA content which is the harmful additives in tobacco were really high.  Today they are extremely low except in swisher products.

Also, the way that they cure the tobacco is better today.  Tobacco that is fire cured is worse for you because of the combustion and smoke of the fire.  Tobacco that is pasturised or baked is less harmful and that is what most companies are going to.  That is why cigarettes are actually more dangerous because the tobacco is ignited and you breath in the smoke.

Their are other health risks besides cancer with dippin like gum disease and recession.  I have no signs of gum disease because of practicing good oral high gene.  However, before I started switching spots in my mouth where I put my tobacco I did start to notice some gum recession.

The bottom line for me is that smokeless chew is a much safer alternative than smoking.

Take Care and I am back to DS gaming, Warcraft Tower Defense to be precise. :)

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't trying to condemn you or anyone else that does it... I'm quite aware that the government supplied videos to schools are more about propaganda than truth. Just look at any highschool video warning you about the dangers of marijuana. Most will convince you that if you ever take a single hit, you'll be addicted for life, it'll kill your unborn children, turn you mentally disabled, and will cause the end of the world, etc etc. Just some things really stick out in your mind and are hard to get over ^_^;

Hi

Rather than do it in the safest way possible, how about just NOT DO IT AT ALL???

For goodness sakes, quit spending money on things that can kill you.

Hi: What right do you have to tell someone to do or not do something? Let people live how they want to live... If you took away every little thing that could kill you, or will kill you over time, life would be very empty.

If people didn't buy tobacco, our government couldn't fix the holes in the street without taxing us. :)
