Chewing
tobacco is a type of smokeless tobacco product consumed by placing a portion of
the tobacco between the cheek and gum or upper lip teeth and chewing. Unlike
dipping tobacco, it is not ground and should be crushed manually with the teeth
to discharge flavor and nicotine. Unwanted juices are then spit out.
Chewing
tobacco is normally manufactured as quite a few varieties of product – most
often as loose leaf, pellets, and "plug". The majority of modern
chewing tobaccos are produced by a process of leaf curing, cutting,
fermentation and processing or sweetening. Previously, many American chewing
tobacco brands (which were well-liked during the American Civil War era) were
made with cigar clippings.
Chewing
tobacco causes a bigger risk than smoking, according to a study conducted by a
group of oncologists. As per a data collected by the experts suggest that more
than half of tobacco-induced cancer patients are gutka consumers, rather than
smokers.
