Cigarettes VS. Smokeless Tobacco

I've heard certain people say that smokeless tobacco is just as dangerous as cigarettes. That isn't true and I'll give you two reasons why. 1. I heard on the news that 10,000 people die every year from second hand smoke. Smokeless tobacco doesn't do that. Smokeless tobacco only hurts people who use it and nobody else. 2. Sometimes people fall asleep while smoking and start fires and get themselves killed. Smokeless tobacco can't do that either.

If every smoker were to switch to smokeless tobacco, it would save ten thousand lives every year. In a decade, it would save a hundred thousand lives and in a century, it would save a million people's lives.

But while smokeless tobacco is safer than cigarettes, I don't recommend using it. Smokeless tobacco can cause gum disease, tooth loss and mouth cancer. I'm asking my readers to please stay away from smokeless tobacco and other forms of tobacco as well.
