this may be too simple an answer, but it can yellow your teeth and extended use may cause oral cancer.

Are all the guys at school thinking of chewing suddenly? This question keeps popping up here. Hmmm...
Okay, anyway. Yes it is bad for you. Yes it can hurt you. I'm a hospice nurse and I have had many patients with mouth & throat cancer from chewing. It's awful and ugly. Please don't do this to yourself. These patients have parts of their face missing because the cancer ate through the skin.....yes....I said that....it ate their face away! It's honestly gross, I know. It's very embarrassing for the patient and you know what they all have said? They wish they weren't alive because it hurts so bad and they can't stand the way they look.
Please....take this to heart. Don't destroy what you have.

Chewing tobacco can lead to CANCER! People call it "smokeless tobacco" to get people to buy it, but its just as dangerous as smoking. You develop mouth sores that can turn into cancerous sores. You also might get a tumor that needs surgery to remove. A friend of mine had to get surgery, and lost half the side of his face when the doctors tried to get the tumor out. It also gives you bad breath and yellow teeth. There is a lot more that can happen too. Contact me at soccerspaz007@yahoo.com to talk to this guy. His name is Rick Bender.

Chewing tobacco contains nicotine ant tar and a whole slew of other chemicals that come out of the tobacco when you chew it. Even though you spit out the "juice" large amounts of the chemicals stay in your mouth, making your teeth disgusting looking, and causing a mouth-cancer risk.

Chewing tobacco, or any form of smokeless tobacco, can eventually lead to a cancerous condition in the gums or the mouth in general.

Any form of tobacco is bad because it is addicting. Listen to what the experts say. They are geniuses. It gives you cancer. And that eats away your skin slowly and painfully and spreads throughout your body.

I think it is a dirty, bad for your health ,habbit. I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would do this. You can get mouth cancer and who knows what else. And that constant spitting is revolting.
