Q&A: What are the odds of getting cancer after chewing for four months and then quitting?
Question by John P: What are the odds of obtaining cancer after chewing for four months and then quitting?
I dipped for about a total of four months…
The entire month of April, then stopped and didn’t dip until the last week of Could. I dipped all of June except for one week, and all of July except for 1 week. I dipped for 3 weeks in August until I went to the dentist for a checkup and scared myself straight. Even so, the dentist said every thing looked fine and there were no troubles whatsoever. I have also visited a physician in the last month for an oral cancer screening, and she said that every thing looked regular and typical. Statistically what are the odds of finding cancer from dipping tobacco for this short of a time period, and should I be fine? I think I’ve dodged the cancer bullet and even those who chew for 20+ years do not constantly get cancer. Regardless of what the gov’t says chewing tobacco seems to be somewhat safer then smoking, even though it’s still risky and greater to quit all tobacco use. Contemplating this, ought to I be in the clear?
Ok, but are the odds of getting cancer lower due to the fact it was a reasonably short time that I chewed?
Has any person gotten cancer from chewing for 4 months? Or is the exposure just not long sufficient to trigger sufficient harm to trigger cancer?

OK..you can be cancer free of charge right now and locate you have it a month later. That goes for everyone no matter if they dip, smoke or chew Tobacco…or don’t. The large risk is, first, it is well documented that tobacco is a key cancer causing agent, second, it’s also documented that not every person has the identical penchant for contracting cancer. Some folks are far more inclined, specifically if it’s in their family. Your selection is to choose if you want to gamble on if you may or may not be a person who is a lot more prone to get it than a person else….Goiod luck and I wish you properly.
