Summary
Smokeless tobacco use ("chewing") is associated with negative health effects. To date, no
medications have been shown to help chewers quit long-term. High dose nicotine patch therapy
may improve the chances that chewers can quit for good. If found to be effective, chewers may
use this treatment to help them quit and reduce their risk for negative health effects.
