Can you get canker sores from chewing tobacco?
Question:
Answers:
I have read that it is not known what canker sores are triggered by, but that it may be linked to stress. If that is the case, I don't think that you could get it by chewing tobacco.

This site says:
Canker sores can run in families. They may also be linked to problems with the body's immune (defense) system. The sores may occur after a mouth injury due to dental work, aggressive tooth cleaning, or biting the tongue or cheek.
Canker sores can be triggered by emotional stress, dietary deficiencies (especially iron, folic acid, or Vitamin B-12), menstrual periods, hormonal changes, food allergies, and similar situations. They occur most commonly with viral infections. In some cases, the cause can not be identified.
So I guess that while chewing tobacco, and you bite your tongue or cheek, it may cause canker sores? I have one right now which bugs me..ugh haha. I hope this helped!
**I saw that a lot of people say that its cancer spots. Canker sores are benign, which means its not cancer.
high chance of cancer of the mouth, tongue and throat
Possibly, but cancer would be more like it.
i dont no but just dont try it
They are probably cancer spots not canker sores. Stop chewing tobbacco it causes cancer and all sorts of problems. Don't do anything you would not allow your children to do. Would you let your son chew tobbacco? probably not, it's a good time to stop.
