Does licking tobacco give you cancer?

How about that? Cause i roll so many blunts that my trashcan is composed of 25% bluntguts. So I really hope that when I get old i dont have mouth cancer. I smoke Dutchmaster natural leaf wraps of course!

Well, nothing "gives" you cancer. Substances can only increase your odds of contracting cancer. Studies have shown that nonsmokers who chew tobacco or use other smokeless tobacco products have a higher incidence of mouth, tongue and throat cancers than those who do not. I doubt if licking the tobacco leaves to make a blunt represents a significant elevation in the risk for cancer, but there is almost certainly at least some increased risk. I wouldn't worry about it, personally. You probably have a higher risk from smoking the blunts, actually.

beeble makes a good point....

why do they call them blunts?

[Beeblebrox.420]

'Cause they're not sharp. Duh.

Hydrizzle, your posts are fucking hilarious for some reason right now. I love you all.

i think the smoking of the tobacco is a much greater risk than licking it.

Yeah but it seems like mouth cancer would be worse than lung cancer. Your teeth might fall out, ur toungue would turn to jelly, etc etc. Sometimes when I lick the blunt I feel something evil creeping in. Maybe its cancer, maybe its the devil.
