I am a teen who is in teh process of quitting dip. I have been doing it on and off for about a year and a half to 2 years. I am not some1 who does it every day. I tend to get very paranoid when i find anything wrong with my mouth however (rite now i have a red sore for about a week, but appears to be gettin smaller) But my question is in general how long do u have ot use a tobacco product before you get cancer?
Thank you

Who knows babe?
My dad smoked his last cigar at 85, 6 weeks before he died from a Heart Attack, not cancer!
But I'm 58 and terminal!
Everyone's different, cancer is not predictable, but if you don't want it, don't do anything which might pre-dispose you!
Tobacco is well-documented as a contributing factor!
Congrats for your 'process of quitting'

Baller... I take it you are a baseball player..
I am so sick of seeing grown men spit.
Please don`t be another number in the cancer statistics ...take a look at this web site. If this does not make you quit nothing will.
