Brief Answer:
No harm...

Detailed Answer:
Well, certainly there is no harm. Saliva is relatively more sterile than any other body fluids. Chances of infection from it is relatively very poor. You wouldn't get cancers from it.

So in all I would say, there is no harm in using saliva for lubrication from this partner who chews tobacco.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
