They are equally bad, just different.

Same goes for any form of tobacco. They are all bad and it's just a matter of what TYPE of cancer you are more likely to get.

Chewing tobacco causes mouth cancers and throat cancers, smoking causes those plus lung cancer. All of those types of cancer are horribly difficult to treat and will result in the loss of some pretty important parts of your face and neck.

Just don't do it. I wish I'd never started.
