    Cancer is the biggie, of course. Cancer of the mouth, of the gums, of the tongue, of the tonsils, of the esophagus, of the stomach, of the small and large intestines, of the colon, of the rectum, of the liver and kidneys and bladder - hey, y'know what? Chawin' ain't no smarter than smokin'! Best bet is to leave 'baccy the heck alone!
