How many people does chewing tobacco kill each year?
Approximately zero.
The main health risk of tobacco is cancer, which usually takes more than a few years to develop to the point of being fatal. Since teens in most places don't even have (legal) access to tobacco until they're almost not teens anymore, the number of teens who contract and die from cancer in the one or two years where they can both get tobacco AND are still teens is pretty small.
Teens who have asthma and smoke could potentially die pretty quickly, but this could be considered dying from stupidity rather than tobacco, as taking up smoking when you're alreadyhaving difficulty breathing is not very bright.
The number of people who die from tobacco-related diseases who started using tobacco products when they were teens, though, is much, much higher.
Can you chew tobacco while hunting deer?
Ive been dipping for many years and have shot many deer while chewing! It goes back to the question of do you think deer associate chewing with humans. They dont have the recolection of know what the smell is! As I teach new hunters into the sport I tell them one thing "You can fool a deers eyes and ears but its nearly immpossible to fool their nose!" If you eliminate your human odor or reduce it whatever your eating chewing or drinking in your stand does not matter as much!
Sugar is a great source of quick calories, and humans are hard-wired to go for that from back in the day when sufficient caloric intake was hard to come by. Nowadays, the problem isn't how to get calories, it's what to do with them. A little self-control can go a long way toward answering that question, and toward ending problems with overweight, as well.
Does chewing tobacco cause hair loss?
If you are skeptical about whether smoking can cause hair loss or not, a recent study says 'yes'. A recent observational study has found that smoking can cause hair loss and also baldness. There are many ways cigarette smoking can cause hair loss, and most of these are related to the effects of cigarette smoke on your hair follicle. Cigarette smoke contains almost 4,000 lethal and damaging chemicals that can cause normal hair loss. Smoking also causes dull, lank and smelly hair. Not only your smoking habit affects the look and smell of your hair, it can also make your hair break off. Smoking stops the flow of an adequate amount of oxygen and nutrients through your blood. Because your hair does not get the right amount of the vital nutrients, your hair becomes unhealthy. So if you are already a smoker, give up the smoking habit for shiny and healthy hair.

Yes it is safer. Has anyone ever died from second hand spit? On a survey my firm has been doing for 27 years... After smoking for 10 years 8% got a form of cancer or lung disease. After chewing for 10 years 0.25% accumulate cancer and 1% got a gum disease.

What is a addiction to chocolate called?
Chocolate is normally consumed as a snack, but yeah there are people who find chocolate a craving and are possibly addicted to it.
The reason of being addicted to chocolate could have been because of depression, or comfort eating. If you think you might be addicted to chocolate try and limit yourself to it and avoid buying it.
We don't necessarily need chocolate, but seeing it at the checkout is brain-trickery and is so tempting to buy it especially if you feel a craving for it.
When eating it, the brain releases endorphines which is a natural enhancer of pleasurable feelings.
The current healthist definition of "addictive" covers just about everything - and probably everything that anyone enjoys. "Real" chocolate lovers argue that chocolate itself is not "addictive" but the copious amounts of sugar, flavourings, etc. added to the popular products are.
totally! Study's show it might be true, but this is not guaranteed.

What if you swallowed chewing tobacco?
Gum is made of Flavor, corn syrup, and gum base. the gum base is what makes the gum chewy. All the ingredients of gum are digestible, except gum base. Gum base just simply passes through your system just like popcorn. It normally digests within a few days.
When people say it will sit in your stomach for seven years, it is incorrect. That is just an old wives-tail.
If you swallow chewing gum, it goes through your digestive tract whole until it is excreted as it cannot be digested.

Can video game addiction kill you?
Not directly. However, there have been numerous cases in which prolonged, intense sessions of gaming have resulted in a person's death. One reason is that gamers will often be sitting in the same position for many hours on end. After a very prolonged period of sitting in the same position (if I had to guess, around as little as 18 hours or as much as 36 hours) a blood clot can form in a major artery. The blood clot will likely remain dormant until the player takes a break, and as soon as they change positions and/or stand up the blood clot can become dislodged and shoot into the person's heart causing cardiac arrest. Other things unrelated to blood clots, usually related to extreme hypertension, can lead to a gamer's death.
So, no, not directly. The sedentary nature of gaming can definitely lead to issues that can lead to the death of those who game.
