Teenagers may feel that experimenting with lowtar and lownicotine cigarettes is safe, but that's not true. Young people can get hooked on smoking these brands as well as regular brands because both contain nicotine. N ot at all. Chewing tobacco is leaf tobacco that is chewed by placing a wad between the cheek and the teeth and sucking on it. Snuff is finely ground tobacco.
People place a pinch of snuff between their cheek and gum or between their lower lip and gum.
Chewing tobacco and snuff are called smokeless tobacco. Advertising and promotion by the tobacco companies implies that using smokeless tobacco is both safe and socially acceptable. That's not true. There are serious health risksfor all smokeless tobacco users such as damage to the delicate lining of the mouth and throat, which may result in cancer. Users also increase their risk of heart disease and stroke.
