[ExpertRachelG] The answer is - No, chewing tobacco is NOT a safe alternative to cigarettes.[clubMrCaruthers] No, I think that can cause cancer of the jaw, right?[gospelgirl16] yes[ExpertRachelG] Right -- Smokeless tobacco particularly increases the risk of oral or mouth cancers.[clubGregg] alternative to cigarettes? how about video games.....more fun, less dangerous.......just as addicting ]:}[HostMichael] ok here is a question that came up in CLUB:[HostMichael] aren't there studies that show that teens can get addicted to nicotine more quickly than adults?[ExpertRachelG] And, thought i might add: Pipes, cigars or "light" or "low-tar" cigarettes are also NOT safe alternatives. Their

effects are not exactly the same but none of them are safe.[rockhound] umm...i am guessing yes[ExpertRachelG] This is true, HostMichael [clubAllison] Mr. Caruthers was no help, Michael. As you saw...[ExpertRachelG] Several major research studies have demonstrated that teens get hooked on tobacco much faster than we

previously thought often after only a few cigarettes.[ExpertRachelG] Get this -- One study showed that among teenage girls who get hooked, it took only an average of about three

weeks from when they started smoking occasionally.[clubTheDean] Ah, Mr. Caruthers! As sponsor of the health club, I'm sure you know ALL the answers. But like a good teacher, you

ask in the form of a question -- inspiring the students to do the learning![lovelylel] only three weeks[gospelgirl16] i heard that some people get addicted after their first time...[HostMichael] ok -- let's broaden this a bit:[HostMichael] Is there any relationship between smoking and the use other substances -- like alcohol or other drugs?[ExpertRachelG] This is also related to the fact why teens get "addicted faster"...[clubGregg] so cigarettes and alcohol brainwash you? this is more serious than i thought[rockhound] word[childofGod] gg: crazy[ExpertRachelG] One way to look at it clubGreg!
