Its different for everyone. It depends on the strength of your tooth enamel and how meticulous you are of your oral hygiene. But for most, you will see noticeable damage in 5-8 years. My suggestion is to just chew sugarless gum! Good luck
Reply:Not long! It also affects other areas of the body too. Visit www.quittobacco.com.
Reply:Tooth and gum decay should be the LEAST of your worries---how about how long will you LIVE after you get CANCER inside your mouth from being STUPID enough to CHEW tobacco or smoke it??? You probably won't live with it long... because you'll be DEAD.... First, however, to stop the spread of the cancer, they will cut part of your cheek out or half your face depending on how much cancer is inside your mouth. You MIGHT lose part or ALL of your tongue.... and most of your teeth---oh how HANDSOME you will end up... you'll make a right fine looking cadaver in the casket.... So, go ahead and chew that crap---but remember, you've been WARNED....
