I'd bet that a lot of people who use it don't realize that, though.
I'm not so sure about that, but I wouldn't be too surprised to meet someone who thought it was "safer".
It was taught in the grade school "anti-drug" programs that it was no safer than smoking. I know they did away with "D.A.R.E." because drug usage seemed to increase after it was introduced (lol), but I assume there's still some form of "drug education".
I knew what chew and snuff were. Never heard the term "dipping" before though.
Haha, I've probably heard it because I went to a high school filled with hicks.
Generally the risk of lip and mouth cancer are intensely amplified.
Yeah, for sure, but neither of those are as dangerous as the most serious threat you encounter when you "dip": you look like a redneck.
