Smokeless Tobacco Users Exposed To Potent Carcinogens

According to a study by the American Association for Cancer Research, researchers found "evidence to support the notion that the oral use of tobacco actually provides a more efficient means for delivering certain carcinogens into the body through the bloodstream, although cigarette smoke includes a host of carcinogenic products that aren't a major factor in smokeless tobacco."

The study authored by Stephen S. Hecht, Ph.D., professor of cancer prevention at the University of Minnesota Cancer Center says "The only likely safe alternative to smoking is the long term use of nicotine replacement therapy as a means to reduce dependence."

If you're kicking the habit, you'll want to increase the amount of detoxifying foods in your diet and up youir intake of nutritional support.
