I don't know that there is any evidence of this.  I think the danger is in inhaling the smoke of burning leaves.  \n\nIf there is any danger in your job, I would think that there would be more danger in the chemical additives used then the tobacco itself.

Have you noticed that almost everywhere you go you see a glowing neon sign on the door that advertises cigarrettes?\nHave you seen the posters of a happy couple with those things in their hands and their teeth are purley white?Have you seen a bunch of cool guys hanging out with their friends on these posters and doing the same thing as the others?And have you noticed how the warning labels are always pushed off to the side and mabye even need a magnifying glass to read it?The companys who make these awful things do it on purpose.They make it look fun or cool on  the posters and in the magazines and almost everywhere!When people start,they think they can just have one and quit...no!Eventually there doing them so long that its too late.They cant help it.Their hormones become so high and their need for those things grows until they cant stop.The componies know this.This is why when the old buyers die or become ill or quit,they just advertise them to younger generations so they can sell more and more.People know that it harms them its just that they cant help it.Because of all the chemicals in it,\nit becomes addictive.To stop,people need a lot of support!\nThey need comfort and understanding or everything turns out into an angry mess.To quit they try some medications or even some who are lucky just quit on their own. :D\nHope this helps!

I honestly have no idea, when I quit smoking I never had that problem. It probanly has to do with the concept of nicotine withdrawl, you running really low on it, and your body is tring to cope with it, which increases stress (when i quit, i got extremly mad over really stupid stuff), and stress is a common trigger of canker sores (HSV Type 1). Other than that, smoking is bad for the tissue on your mouth, it can cause mouth cancer, just like chewing can, and your body might just be fighting off some irratants in your mouth, which again causes stress.

same reason why: \n smokers smoke\n drinkers drink\n gamblers gamble\n etc, etc, etc.....I could tell you alot more.\n \nThat is what they do. Everybody has thing that they do. It may not be healthy, but that is who they are. We all have little things that we do.

Yes, I collect and smoke tobacco pipes and pipe tobacco. I have PAD (pipe acquisition disorder).  My horses could probably be labeled as a money pit too.

im sure most of the wrestlers in the wwe wear cups. the reason that they go down when hit there is b/c they have to make it look like it actually hurts, not get me wrong im sure it kinda hurts

My only answer to this one is the fact that they get nervous. I used to have a habit of biting my nails, but soon stopped because it is gross and you can get infections from it. I don't necessarily think that people "eat" them. Chewing is maybe something they do and it is a disgusting habit. \nI know that it is most likely a nervous habit.

If you are talking about Chewing Tobacco, the answer is:\n\nYes - chewing tobacco gives you a higher risk of a stroke.\n\nChewing tobacco is just as bad as smoking tobacco with the added bonus of higher rates of mouth cancer too!

YES,in some countries ,its normal,almost a culture to spit,it happens in the middle east and the predominant muslim parts of africa,its due to the dusty nature of the country,its normal for everyone,esp the men to have congested lungs.

I can agree with this totally.  I am an Indy wrestler in NW Tennessee area and people do not get it that we put are life and bodies on the line every time we go out there and do a match.  Maybe we dont make the big bucks but we do it because we love it and do it for the fans and to live out our dreams or at least it was a dream of mine growing up.

I think they work, I seen a film in middle school about people with cancer caused by smoking and chewing.  They showed older gentleman that had neck cancer and a guy in is 20's that had to have his bottom jaw removed. I was never tempted to try that crap.

There are two types of wrestling fans. Ones who enjoy it and think its real. Then there are the ones who know its fake and the inner workings behind it but still enjoy it the same. Depends on who you are talking about.

Because they are just like drug pushers.They don't REALLY want people to stop smoking. They just use that phrase "discourage use"  as an excuse so they can keep raising the taxes. If they REALLY wanted people to quit, they would ban cigarettes. But, if they did that, then who else could they stick with the outrageous taxes? They aren't fooling anybody.

The tobacco used for the yahooka pipes are not as harmful as the tobacco used in cigarettes...
