Dip is an awful drug, when you chew dip it cuts your gums which allows the drug to get into your blood stream. Gross huh?

Chewing snuff is BAD. It can cause oral cancer and destroys the gums and teeth. Make him stop chewing or break up with him cause his mouth is going to be gross soon! And you dont want to kiss a guy who has such a bad mouth. His gums are bleeding because the snuff is eating away at them, destroying them

It means that the gums are irritated and starting to pull away from the teeth, which is a precursor to gingivitis and periodontitis.
It also increases the risk of oral cancer. By the way, I just found out that the five-year survival rate after first diagnosis of oral cancer is only 53%.

gums bleed from chewing because this is how the drug gets into your body. there are tiny little rough bits of material in the chew that make tiny cuts in your gums/lips so the drug can be absorped there. its a DISGUISTING HABIT. tell him to knock it off. he might not end up with lung cancer but with cancer of the mouth, throat or gums!

I have been an dental assistant for about 10 years and it sounds like gingivitis, He should get a cleaning and have an oral cancer screening. and remember to floss!

he's got cancer man, in 99.98% of cases like this one the person has had cancer and died within 3 years.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it's medically acurate.
