“I regret the first time I had sex. I was very young, naive and irresponsible. I was under the impression that all of my friends were having sex, which I now know was not true.”

I know smoking's bad for you, but I chew tobacco. Isn't that less harmful?
No. There is no such thing as "harmless" tobacco. You're still at risk for different kinds of cancers, including cancer of the cheek, throat, and stomach.
In fact, by chewing, you're still 50 times more likely to get some kind of oral cancer than people who don't chew.
Plus, if no one's told you, your teeth look pretty stained, your breath is kind of funky, and you're well on your way to getting mouth sores. Interested in dating or having sex with someone? Well, yellow teeth, nasty breath, and mouth sores are more than likely to kill the mood!
