I have only been dipping for a bout a month and a half, I was planning on to quit dipping after 2 months because I am temporarily dipping so I can quit smoking. And it worked! I don’t need ciggarettes anymore. But this morning I noticed a small little blister or bump on the inside of my lip. Is this just a coincidence, or is it really possible to get some kind of mouth disease, mouth cancer, etc. after only a month and a half of dipping?
Hi Dallas,
This is one of the nastiest habits of all time! Yes, it is possible to get one of many different mouth or throat cancers from dipping tobacco. The only real way to stop smoking is to just put them down. You can do it. It probably is a coincidence but the only way to tell is to give it time to heal. If you are still concerned, see an ENT doc. Good luck with the "blister" and with stopping smoking!

Yes, you can, and that could eventually go on to become cancer. See your dentist. And if you’re still dipping, either stop or, if you can’t, go get some 4 mg Chantix nicotine lozenges. Same thing, nicotine absorbed through the mouth, but without the cancer risk.

it usually takes longer than that to develop cancer.
what you noticed and how you described it sounds like a canker sore. they are nasty little things that can develop from different things. research them and see how similar what you have is to their description.
what you should watch out for is something called leukoplakia. it is a pre-cancerous condition that can develop. it is white patches inside your mouth- though they will never develop as just one bump.

You’ve got a sore. And as a smoker I have to say you traded a nasty habit for one that’s a heck of a lot filthier and heck of a lot more dangerous.
