| Hello dw_h The risk was increased by chewing tobacco. The longer you chewed the greater the risk. By stopping you have reduced the risk (good thing) but it will take a while for the risk to return to where it would have been if you had never chewed tobacco. But that is not a cause for worry, only a cause for vigilance. Have a good day. Best wishes Vinod
