What are the chances of getting cancer from chewing tobacco
There are at least 28 different chemicals in chewing tobacco that researchers have found to cause cancer. Tobacco-specific nitrosamines are created in the plant while it grows, cures, ferments, and ages. Scientists believe these nitrosamines are directly related to the overall cancer risk. Each chewing tobacco product contains different levels of nitrosamines, making each product carry a different level of cancer risk.
