Seen too many pictures of oral cancer patients to ever want to try chewing tobacco.

Catladies want to put dippers in fema camps

Idk man I'm no expert, but I did look into it and the studies aren't there regarding chew/dip = mouth cancer

Really need to rise up tbh

@Ald Dude, you're like twenty, aren't you?! Tell me you're not dipping...

No I vape

@Sherlock https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=370549

The biggest dipper I know is 18 though

Even without cancer, dipping still leads to gum decay and whatnot. It's not a good look

My dad has the start of a hole in his mouth and that's enough for me to say there's a connection between chewing and cancer/adverse health

Vape is Ghey Lite, but at least it represents a positive trend...

@hbutzer0511 so sounds like it prob doesn't and it's just the grain of it cutting you

If you vape but didn't used to smoke you're uber gh3y

Vape is better than cigs because it doesn't give off secondhand smoke. It can be more addictive though because people get so much nicotine and can do it indoors

@Sherlock. Is there fiberglass in Chew?

There appears to be a widely-believed and long-standing rumor that manufacturers of smokeless tobacco(a.k.a. "chewing tobacco", "dip", "snuff", "chew") put fiberglass in their products. According to this rumor, the purpose of the fiberglass is to make thousands of tiny cuts in the skin on the lips and inside of the mouth.

Yeah sounds like it's just a rumor

You vape too much Pip

IE supports the Cigs Inside movement, the Iota Epsilon house is tobacco friendly

I don't think you'll get the Georgian to stop chewing

Together we can make a difference in society

Well the truth is that I've always had a love affair with tobacco/nicotine so for me it's more about minimizing the damage

@Sherlock Well some brands are more subtle.

Dipping is degenerate, any form of unhealthy addictions are degenerate. Tbh

*several people are typing*

Nicotine is heavily addicting, that stuff messes up so many things in your brain, cancer not included

Man I had no idea I would stir such passions by bringing dip into the discussion lmao

At the end of the day, I'd rather people dip than smoke because it doesn't affect me, but there's no good reason to do either

@TMatthews Georgian as in "Georgia on my mind," or the Republic of Georgia?

@TMatthews Agree

Alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine are all good

Obviously within reasonable parameters on the alcohol

Haha they are though

Also vaping is still bad. Hate to say it buds, it doesn't have as much nicotine in the second/third hand smoke, but it has so much more of other harmful chemicals in the smoke you exhale. It still gives off harmful second hand smoke

Nicotine is really good for your brain

I gave up drinking

I still drink soda on occasion (basically just with pizza) but I never got into drugs/alcohol

There are studies supporting nicotine being good for you.

I used to drink entirely too much if I'm going to be totally honest, but these days I have a bit here and there and it's all good

Not saying a believe it.
