Re: smokeless tobacco
just a comment for those breathing a sigh of relief...
The average age of people diagnosed with lung cancer is 60. It is unusual for people under the age of 40 to be diagnosed with lung cancer. Keep in mind that most individuals start smoking before the age of 20..... so that tells us what? that it often (or one can perhaps say typically) takes cigerettes more than 40 years to develop cancer within the lung....
therefore, studies need to follow patients out well past 20 years and I would argue that any study with less than a 40 year history of chewing tobacco would not be complete and could very well be misleading.
Just my 2 cents....
keep trying to quit NDD....
