Their programs to help military personnel kick the smoking habit are intended to protect the health of the current force — and to save the government hundreds of millions of dollars a year in health care costs for those who have served, and smoked, in uniform.

OKAY

I guess we will trade lung cancer for Mouth, tongue, jaw, stomach and esophageal cancers as navel personnel swap smoking tobacco for smokeless tobacco (snuff and chewing tobacco).

Why either or? Why not neither? I work with an ex-submariner and he doesn't use tobacco in any form. Doesn't seem to hurt him.

Just chew gum. That won't offend anyone.

You are more likely to get oral cancer from smoking than from chewing. It is the heat and the burning carbon, not the plant or the nicotine.
