The 'gum' of nicotine, a strategy much used by smokers to try to mill the defect may increase the risk of oral cancer, says report in London newspaper The Times. " According to the British daily, a survey coordinated by Muy-Teck HST, University of London, showed that the effect of oral nicotine can affect the mouth cells that already carry a mutation potentially carcinogenic, leading them to "cross the barrier" towards the cancer itself.
The study was published in the journal "PLoS One." The debate on the interaction between nicotine and cancer is long. It is known that the substance is not the most carcinogenic component in tobacco, and the fact it is not inhaled when consumed in the form of chewing gum also decreases the risk associated with the molecule.
In an interview to the Times, HST was keen to stress that, despite everything, people are using the gum as a way to stop smoking should remain in use, since the risk is still much lower than that involved in continuing tabagista. Teh also recommended that people not exceed the normal period of use of the product, which is usually around six months. It may be that the continued use beyond is to increase the risk of mouth problems.
