How does the healeh risks of nicotine gum compare ith chewing tobacco?
It’s far less harmful for a person to get nicotine from a nicotine replacement product than from cigarettes because tobacco smoke contains many toxic and cancer-causing substances. Long-term use of nicotine replacement products is not known to be associated with any serious harmful effects See: http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Tobacco/cessation for more information.
