What are the chances of getting mouth cancer?

Question by Mike Walter: What are the chances of getting mouth cancer?
I am 15 and i have been chewing for about a year, i love it and probably wont quit until the day i die. So what is the real chance of getting mouth cancer, because i have never heard of very many cases of it.
it isnt a 50-50 chance. all my family have chewed their whole life and havent had any problems, so sorry but i dont believe that and youre right, i dont care.
and its better than smoking, so shut the hell up

i would say the chances are fifty -fifty. figure either you do or you dont. some of your family medical history, genetic predisposition, immune system , life style and eating habits will all have some influence as well as your exposure to carcinogens, of course will also affect your chances. its your life , your decision, your choice , but i would not take the risk ,personally!!
