Smokeless tobacco is associated with many health problems. Using smokeless tobacco:

Can lead to nicotine addiction1,2

Causes cancer of the mouth, esophagus (the passage that connects the throat to the stomach), and pancreas (a gland that helps with digestion and maintaining proper blood sugar levels)1,2

Is associated with diseases of the mouth1,3

Can increase risks for early delivery and stillbirth when used during pregnancy²

Can cause nicotine poisoning in children⁴

May increase the risk for death from heart disease and stroke1,3

Using smokeless products can cause serious health problems.
Protect your health; don't start. If you do use them, quit.

Smokeless tobacco contains nicotine, which is highly addictive.1,2

Because young people who use smokeless tobacco can become addicted to nicotine, they may be more likely to also become cigarette smokers.⁵

Many smokeless tobacco products contain cancer-causing chemicals.1,6

The most harmful chemicals are tobacco-specific nitrosamines, which form during the growing, curing, fermenting, and aging of tobacco. The amount of these chemicals varies by product.¹

The higher the levels of these chemicals, the greater the risk for cancer.²

Other chemicals found in tobacco can also cause cancer. These include:⁶

A radioactive element (polonium-210) found in tobacco fertilizer

Chemicals formed when tobacco is cured with heat (polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons-also known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons)

Harmful metals (arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead, nickel, mercury)

Smokeless tobacco causes cancer of the mouth, esophagus, and pancreas.¹

Smokeless tobacco can cause white or gray patches inside the mouth (leukoplakia) that can lead to cancer.¹

Smokeless tobacco can cause gum disease, tooth decay, and tooth loss.1,3

Using smokeless tobacco during pregnancy can increase the risk for early delivery and stillbirth.²

Nicotine in smokeless tobacco products that are used during pregnancy can affect how a baby's brain develops before birth.2,7

Using smokeless tobacco increases the risk for death from heart disease and stroke.1,3

Smokeless tobacco can cause nicotine poisoning in children.⁴

Additional research is needed to examine long-term effects of newer smokeless tobacco products, such as dissolvables and U.S. snus.
