    • Lung cancer

    If you come to know about these ill effects, giving up tobacco chewing is far easy. Most of the people use smokeless tobacco which is also a chewable form of tobacco with some additional sweeteners and flavors added. It is a myth that chewable form of tobacco such as smokeless tobacco is not as dangerous as smoking tobacco. Both the forms release nicotine which causes severe health hazards.

    Firstly one should make mind determined about giving up chewing tobacco or Eating Gutka. This is very important because after a person stops consuming nicotine, he/she feels craving for tobacco. So one should be strong enough to resist such cravings. After making up the mind one can opt for various therapies available to give up chewing tobacco.
