How To Stop The Habit Of Chewing Tobacco?

Hello, I am a female and I am 13. I have a boyfriend who chews tobacco-and I m worried that it will destroy his health-and I m wondering if it will affect mine too.-He used to chew on the back of the bus before i dated him but then a few kids told the bus driver so they stopped but he still does it-not around me but i know that he does.-I ve never done drugs or drinking or any addicting causes and the worst injury that I ve ever had would be a sprained arm from horseback riding.-My left arm-I haven t been very sick so far in my life-just colds and a few stomach flus or bugs or whatever they are.-Haha-anyway, I m wondering if I can get sick or get infections if I kiss him-the kisses are just pecks but still.-I was wondering if you could answer my question please-thanks?:):):):)-Also my parents don t know that I m on here-they don t know that my boyfriend chews tobacco-I don t want to tell them right now cause I don t know how they will react.:(:(-I ll tell them sometime soon i guess-but I m DEFENITLEY NOT GOING TO GET INVOLVED IN DRUGS OR ANYTHING-i made a promise to myself that I d stay out of it and I will-but i wish that he would stop-I think I ll try and talk to him about it.
