Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As per your complain tobacco chewing is very harmful as it contains harmful chemicals like Nicotine and is a causative factor for certain precancerous conditions like Oral submucous fibrosis, leukoplakia and if the habit is continued it can lead to Oral Cancer..

In case if he does not swallow it but if he dips it in the mouth also it can lead to the above described conditions..

There are certain products available in market like Nicotine containing chewing gums and nicotine patches that can be placed over the skin surface of arm and it will reduce the urge to chew tobacco..

You should once consult an addiction medicine specialist or an oral physician and get evaluated and get proper counselling and prescription done..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
