Smokeless tobacco often has added sweetener and flavoring to attract younger and younger users.

Smokeless tobacco contains more than 3000 chemicals including 28 known carcinogens.
Smokeless tobacco use causes bad breath, decreased sense of taste, a black hairy tongue, yellow teeth, and even oral, throat, and stomach cancers.
