Is chewing tobacco really that dangerous?

Ca

So, I’ve struggled for a while to get my husband off of his dipping “addiction”.

His gums were beginning to recede, we just found out his cousin has an oral (possible) tumor on his gums and he dips also, and it was way too costly, I had enough.

Finally, this past week I’ve gotten him to agree to stop dipping all together.

Now, his friends are giving him shit from it saying I’m acting like his mom, his friends believe dipping isnt bad for you, and I’m completely wrong for saying it is.

So, do you think chewing tobacco is bad?

Would you step in if you felt like it got out of hand?
