How does cheewing feel now?


I think we have always seen this in hot men's back pockets. If you are unsure as to what you are seeing, this would be a can of dip, chew, or smokeless tobacco. Chewing tobacco has been dated to being used in the 1860's in the southern region of the United States. Women and children of both gender's were noted for chewing tobacco.
However, I do not know about you, but I did not see any of that I was not even though of yet. I do know that what sparked my attention with chewing tobacco nowadays, is the baseball players of the twentith century. The United States has associated chewing tobacco with sports especially baseball, however, " its use by participants is almost universally banned at organized sporting events."

INTERESTING FACT**To all those baseball fans, does anyone remember Babe Ruth? Can you recall what it was that he died from. Well it was because of throat cancer also known as nasopharyngeal carcinoma [cancer of the upper throat], which is caused by excessive use of alcohol and chewing tobacco and he was a heavy user of both. Did you know that?

Most people believe the increasing use of baseball player using chewing tobacco has lead to the rapid increase of teen use of it also especially among the white and hispanic males. "In 1970, five times as many 65-and-older males used smokeless tobacco as 18-to-24-year-olds did." On the other hand today the statistic are flipped because males from ages 18-24 went from a 1% of the population to a 6.2% of the population, while the 65 and older crowd has decreased from a 4% to a 2.2%. Today, almost a quarter of high school boys are using this product and amazingly the girls are following the trend at only a 2.3%. In the state of Kentucky alone, 26.7 of high school boys are using and a whopping 27% of the same group are using in West Virginia.

Now in the nineteenth century in the peak of its popularity in the Western united States, a device or object was always associated with chewing tobacco. If you chewed you had to own a spittoon for the purpose of being a receptacle for excess spittle or juices that accumulated in the oral cavity from the tobacco. Once the chewing tobacoo's popularity declined in the years following its peak, the spitton became a mere relic of the Old West and is "rarely seen outside museums." "To this very day spittons are still present on the floor of the U.S. Senate."

So next time you see a nice male butt walking past you and see that shape in their back pocket, be sure to check thier mouth because that could be so hot!
The causes of chew.

Whose next at the kissing booth. Here's your candidate.

So not only could you have a more likely chance of receiving oral or throat cancer but also pancreatic cancer if the juices produced from the chew are swallowed causing stomach pains and then leading to stomach ulcers. Chew also leads to dental caries, gingival recession, and oral cancer. The CDC and NIH [National Institute for Health] have concluded that chewing tobacco users are four times more likely to to develope dental caries at the root of the tooth than non smokers.

"Studies indicate that possibility the high sugar content in many chew tobacco products to be the reason behind dental caries on tooth roots and crowns apart from the practical way chew tobacco is lodged in the mouth for up to 30 minutes at a time."

So I advise all readers, look at your significant other's teeth and see if they will last long because if they are a user or if you are. You could look like this:

And he was a former Major League Baseball Player.

HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO YOU??

Not only making a pernament indent in your back pocket but also in your jaw, at least what's left of it.
