It is OK for teens to chew tobacco right?

Answer 1

Not in my opinion, you can if you want though

Answer 2

You may have an IQ of whatever but (in the nicest way possible) you aren't showing it at the moment. Ask any medical professional and they will sure tell you what alcohol does you you. "We can poison our bodies at 18 but we can help them until were 21." This is a hypocritical statement - ethanol is a poison. The only reason people who drink aren't really poisoned is because the liver can handle a certain amount of it. And to be honest, I personally believe that smoking is only legal because: 1. It brings in a lot of money in taxes. 2. Nobody is willing to stand against it at risk of being unpopular. There aren't really any benefits of smoking - it kills you and others around you... FACT. Here, in the UK, the drinking age is only 18 and we have such a serious alcohol problem. Trust me, it's far better at 21, I only wish they'd hurry up and change it here because the UK is in a bit of a sorry state at the moment. Oh, and obviously as well as tobacco causing cancer, don't even make me start on alcohol... erm... let me see... lung cancer heart disease blindness etc... etc... Shall I continue? Go to a hospital and you will be told of the assaults and murders caused by alcohol, as well as ruined lives. =)

Answer 3

I disagree with someone above. I think smoking is worse because at least with chewing you aren't imposing it on other people as much.

But I think chew is nasty. I associate it for the most part with toothless rednecks. If you are going to chew, don't spit on the sidewalks or anything, that's just disgusting and rude, so much worse than someone smoking in public, and if you insist on doing it in a bar or restaurant don't leave your spit cup sitting there for the waitress to clean up, find a trash can and throw it away yourself.

A guy who chews would have to be damn hot and have a helluva personality for me to date, though. And I would still spend a lot of time trying to convince him to quit. I can't imagine kissing a guy and him having little bits of chew in his teeth! Yuck!

As far as the oral cancer goes, this pic is all I've got on that: http://deseretnews.com/photos/2780764.jpg

Answer 4

no its not OK for teens to chew tobacco,and why would you want to. that is the most disgusting habit there is

Answer 5

In my honest opinion,nobody should chew tobacco;regardless of age!

Answer 6

No. Technically, they are not old enough. On top of that, the big lump in the lip looks nasty, then you've got to carry around a bottle or something to spit that crap in (or do it on the ground so people can step in it), and we all have to see the tobacco shreds stuck in your teeth. Now, why would you want to do that?
P.S. and then there's oral cancer........

Answer 7

It's never o.k. for teens to chew or use any tobacco period.

Answer 8

Sure...you have to die from something...why not cancer of the mouth, larynx or lip? AKA...NO, don't do it. Tobacco is deadly. My father passed away 5 years ago from illness related to tobacco use. It's not worth it.

Answer 9

Even if it's OK, it's still stupid. Make a list, put "Pro" for one column, and "Con" for the other, now start adding to it and I'll bet you won't find one thing for the pro side. Plus, if you were a girl, would you want to kiss the lips of a chewer?

Answer 10

Don't be silly, bam bam. If it's a tobacco product, it's bad for you, regardless of the person's age!

Answer 11

No, it's not ok for anyone to chew tobacco. It's gross & eventually give you cancer. NASTY!
