Teenage Substance Prevention - drug testing - drug test - drug abuse * Tobacco Prevention Chewing Tobacco Is No Better Than Smoking Tobacco    Aurther Shoko There is a growing misconception especially amongst teenage tobacco users that smokeless tobacco is healthier than smoking tobacco. Smokeless tobacco includes chew tobacco and snuff. The campaign to discourage people from smoking cigarettes appears to have yielded much results. Many people are quite aware of the dangers of smoking because of the much publicized 4000 toxins and 599 cigarette ingredients.

This is because the stop smoking campaign overshadowed the effects and dangers of other forms of nicotine delivery and tobacco use such as chewing tobacco. This is partly the reason behind the raise in the use of chewing tobacco amongst teenagers apart from the high cost of cigarettes and the difficult with which authorities can detect chewing tobacco. In fact more teens are also switching to cigar smoking under the same misconception that cigars are safer because no smoke is inhaled.

A study... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In reality tobacco is a harmful product. The United Nations's WHO has since declared tobacco a deadly product which can not be reconciled with public health. Chewing tobacco involves placing a chunk of tobacco into the mouth and allowing nicotine to be absorbed by mouth membranes into the bloodstream and finally reaching the brain. The most popular health effects of chewing tobacco use include mouth cancer, gum cancer, gum recession, teeth discoloration, throat cancer, stomach cancer and periodontal disease characterized by severe bad breath amongst chewing tobacco users. These health problems are devastating and often lead to permanent disability and death. Just like salt and high blood pressure chewing tobacco also causes blood pressure spikes in hypertensive patients. Chewing tobacco does not make tobacco less addictive. In fact chewing tobacco users are equally addicted to nicotine just as much as those who smoke. In real terms people who switch from smoking tobacco to chewing tobacco have been shown by research to posses an untold uphill task should they finally decide to quit tobacco use. They will most like suffer from severe nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Anti-tobacco campaigners must be called to realize the effects of a biased anti-smoking campaign whose main aim is on smoking cigarettes. People generally have a tendency to switch from one nicotine delivery method to another in a bid to escape the much talked about dangers of smoking. The no-smoking campaign should therefore encompass even all other forms of tobacco use with just as much strength purpose. Aurther Shoko is the publisher of Quit Smoking Central a resourceful online publication specializing in quit smoking tips and dangers of smoking.
