Snus and the doctor

[Kkingery83]

No they were where he bit his cheeknit has since healed. So are the lines normal with dip and snus? He also had a tiny white spot which was biopised. I don't want to force him to quit. I have tried that and it doesn't work he just rebels like a teenager. I just want to know snus won't cause any damage to that area and make it progress to cancer.that's all I want to know. I don't have a agenda and I sm not anti tabacco I am just concerned for my husbands health. Can you really blame me? I could br the wife that doesn't care and just wants him to drop dead but I am not!!!!!

This is a link to the lesion I am speaking of not the front of his gums. What is the good / bad news?

I'd be more concerned about those two white spots outside of the outline of the lesion...they look like cottage cheese? Or is my monitor in need of a cleaning???

Kkingery83, do you want the good news? or only the bad news?

It would seem to me that you are going to keep asking and searching until you get the bad news you want to try and force your husband to stop using snus as well..... Many here have told you that snus is safe, But you seem to want to keep looking for it to be unsafe...

Not trying to be rude! But it is what it is....

[Kkingery83]

What I would like to know is since he has hyperplasia in hi mouth which is benign would snus cause more irritation causing this I become pre cancer. I understand snus doesn't cause oral cancer but could it affect a previous lession from American snuff? All the doctors here are so anti tobacco you can't get a straight answer to save your life. Please no rude comments.

From the photo his gums look pretty good considering he'd been dipping for 15 years.

[Ansel]

Now tell him to quit playing with his lip or he'll make it sore. :-)

[bpc720]

I'm no docotor...but there is absolutely ZERO evidence of mouth cancer occurring from snus use. If your doctor says otherwise I can only guess its because he doesn't know enough about snus. Snus is uncommon in U.S. and all U.S. tobacco is carcinogenic so I do understand this conclusion from doctors that snus causes cancer but there is simply no data to suggest anything of the sort. His lesion may come back but you and your husband shouldn't worry about it turning cancerous because that just doesn't happen from snus. Ramen noodles and hot dogs are far more carcinogenic than snus could ever be

[Ansel]

But he could do with a good shave.

[Ansel]

Well i don't think he has cancer anymore than the rest of us.

[Kkingery83]

Ok well what's your thoughts??? They all say not to chew but what about using snus????

[Ansel]

My husband has hyperplasia and chronic inflammation in his cheek from using Copenhagen for the past 15 years. He quit for a few months then hr started using snus. He hasn't told hid dentist of doctor yet about starting the snus. I got online and asked done doctors and they all said tobacco is bad and snus could cause the former lesion in his mouth , which has since healed, to become mouth cancer. Does anyone know if there is any truth in this?I have researched snus and I know it has risk but if doesn't seem like mouth cancer is one of the risk. I just would like to know why the doctors would say this and where there evidence is coming from?
