Does Stopping Dipping Avoid Possibility Of Oral Cancer?
I have been dipping around 3 and half months. I've gone through on average a can a week. If I quit now will I be at a high percentage of not getting oral cancer. In that time period of dipping I havent had any irritations or bumps. I also do not drink or smoke.

hi dear,
dipping a can a week since last 3 to 4 months increased possibilities of cancer and same way if you quit it with in a month you are the same as other people. means you have not increased chance of cancer.
it is good that you dont have any other substance.
so quit dipping as early as possible because as early as you quit higher chances of not getting cancer.
Thank you
