Good Reasons to Quit Chewing Tobacco

  • Brighter smile. Healthier teeth and gums.
  • Save money. At $3 or more a can, a chewer can save a lot of money by quitting. If a person dips a can a day, that’s more than $1,000 a year!
  • Reducing cancer risk. Chewing tobacco contains 28 cancer-causing chemicals. Three quarters of mouth and throat cancers are caused by tobacco and only half of those diagnosed are alive five years later.
  • Reducing risk of heart disease and high blood pressure.
