hello - my husband, mark, has been chewing tobacco for 20 years, since he was 15 and started to play baseball. we have been arguing about "the chew" for 8 long years. he promised he would quit when we were married, when we had babies and until recently no luck. i am a realitist and have been doing everything i can to make an impression on him. he argued, it is his life and i need to let him be. as i read your stories, my heart truly breaks as i have gone through the senerios countless times in my head of what could happen to our family. last week we found out that a very close friend has oral cancer. i think, unfortunately, this finally is motivating him to stop.
has anyone ever heard of things that can help repair damage that has been done??
can someone try and motivate him so this is the last time he "trys" to quit?? HELP!
he also drinks a lot of beer and i am just discovering now the link between oral cancers and drinking. can anyone direct me more information??

thank you so much for your bravery and courage. hopefully, we can save this one. we have three little kids and they really would prefer a healthy daddy.
