Talk
with your son about DIP
Tobacco is bad for your body and bad for your health. If you think
going smokeless is any better, it’s not. The amount of nicotine
in one dip, or chew, of spit tobacco can deliver up to 5 times the
amount found in one cigarette. Spit tobacco (a.k.a. dip, snuff, chew,
and chewing tobacco) users are 50 times more likely than nonusers to
contract cancers of the cheek, gums, inner surface of the lips,
throat, esophagus, larynx, stomach, and pancreas.
Here's the truth about dip. Believe what you read. It's right on the can.
This Product May Cause Mouth Cancer. It's a fact. Dipping causes lip, cheek, tongue, and other types of oral cancer. And the longer you dip, the greater your changes of getting oral cancer become.
This Product may cause gum disease and result in tooth loss. A dipper's gums start receding. Dip damages mouth tissue beyond repair. And mouth sores that look like grayish white places on the inner cheek begin to appear. Nearly all oral cancers start from these mouth sores.
This Product is not a safe alternative to cigarette smoking. When he was 12 years old, Sean Marsee began dipping. He thought it was safe. Six years later, he had cancer in the very spot where he once put dip. At 19, Sean Marsee was dead.

You start dipping more. You start trying finer cut brands with more nicotine to satisfy your need. That's exactly what the tobacco companies want you to do.
