Smokeless tobacco is not a healthy alternative to smoking. Quitting is the only way to decrease your risk of these and other tobacco-related health problems.

 The addictive quality of nicotine, which is found in cigarettes, cigars and chewing tobacco, can make this quitting difficult. Talk to your dentist or doctor to see if the medications available would help you to stop using tobacco.
