Chewing Tobacco
Chewing tobacco scratches and stains your teeth and can cause them to decay. Because it contains high concentrations of cancer-causing agents, chewing tobacco puts you at risk for cancer of the mouth and the throat. If you've been chewing for a long time, watch for these danger signs: a mouth sore that doesn't heal, a lump or white patch inside your mouth, chronic sore throat, or difficulty in chewing or moving the tongue or jaws.
