Answer to Question 1

False

Answer to Question 2

Using smokeless tobacco can lead to gingivitis and periodontitis. It carries a fourfold increase in oral cancer and in some cases even premature death. People who chew or dip also have a higher rate of cavities, sore gums, bad breath, and stained teeth. Their senses of smell and taste diminish; consequently, they tend to add more sugar and salt to food. These practices alone increase the risk for being overweight and having high blood pressure. Nicotine addiction and its related health risks also hold true for smokeless tobacco users. Nicotine blood levels approach those of cigarette smokers, increasing the risk for diseases of the cardiovascular system. Furthermore, research has revealed changes in heart rate and blood pressure similar to those of cigarette smokers.
