    Both are bad, but the chewing tobacco is worse. you can get severe cancer of the the mouth, throat and esophagus and even stomach cancer from chewing this junk. Plus it is a disgusting habit to see one chewing and constantly spewing this gunk everywhere.

    Source(s): general knowledge.

    I would say the are close to the same equivilence, except that smoking around others exposes them to the same cancer causing agents. Both are contributing factors to cancer, tobacco of the chewing kind causes mainly jaw and gum cancers.

    Can't someone just answer the question instead of being hateful about smoking!! Hell yeah we know they are bad! I quit smoking but found an unopened pack and wanted to give away. Didn't want to give then away if they were nasty! That's why I searched this question but every answer on this topic has been mean! Except for the few that actually answered nicely!!

    They are equally evil. They just produce a different type of cancer, mouth or throat.
