[Lissie152]

Anybody else see that on the news?
Too much drinking and smoking can give you mouth cancer.
It seems like something pretty scary if you ask me!
I don't smoke
but I'll drink at parties.
I don't drink a huge amount though.
But aaah looks so scary
So don't drink and smoke too much <3

Yeh, but if you are addicted you can't really cut down?, If Early indication it can be sorted anyways.

It doesn't worry me, evan if i do smoke and drink on odd occasions

[Dupion]

Freaky, I dont smoke or drink alcohol a lot anyway.

I don't smoke. I drink sometimes.. but, I think it's aimed at people who smoke like 40 a day and drink every night.

[Lissie152]

Na its not a dentist thing..
Oral cancer is different to Mouth cancer
You know the famous guy in the film Oliver, dodger?or something.Lol the guy in the blue jacket.
He was on the news and got addicted at a young age and looks really mucked up now because of it and can't speak.

Adding onto what i said above, i just think it's another scheme to stop Smoking and Binge drinking.. etc, as they never put anything about Liver cancer etc...

[Magnet]

For some people alchohol are every day drinks ;)

Some Info ;]


In its very early stages, mouth cancers can be almost invisible making it easy to ignore. You can improve your chances of survival if the cancer is detected early and rapidly treated. It is important to have a self-awareness and to perform regular, self-examinations (http://www.floss.com/oral_cancer_selfexam.htm) to help in the early identification of:

1. A sore or ulcer in the mouth that does not heal within three weeks

2. A lump or overgrowth of tissue anywhere in the mouth

3. A white or red patch on the gums, tongue, or lining of the mouth

4. Difficulty in swallowing

5. Difficulty in chewing or moving the jaw or tongue?

6. Numbness of the tongue or other area of the mouth

7. A feeling that something is caught in the throat


8. A chronic sore throat or hoarseness that persists more than six weeks, particularly smokers over 50 years old and heavy drinkers

9. Swelling of the jaw that causes dentures to fit poorly or become uncomfortable

10. Neck swelling present for more than three weeks
11. Unexplained tooth mobility persisting for more than three weeks - see a dentist urgently

12. unilateral nasal mass / ulceration / obstruction, particularly associated with purulent or bloody discharge

Reduce your chances of getting these cancers by:

1. Not smoking or chewing tobacco, gutkha/paan more >> (http://www.rdoc.org.uk/smoking_tobacco_risk.html)

2. Limiting alcohol consumption

3. Having a healthier "low meat, low fat" diet, rich in vegetables and fruit with servings of bread, cereals or beans everyday


The Mouth Cancer Foundation (MCF) is a UK registered charity raising awareness of oral cancer and cancers in the tongue, throat, jaw, head and neck.

So yes, it does mean the same :)

[Lissie152]

yeah,thanks for that
It really scares me

[Will]

I drink at parties yes but I never get drunk because I always stop before I do get drunk because I know several cases where drunken teenagers has led to various injuries through fights - even death sometimes.

[Rebuild]

I don't drink much, obviously I will more when I'm older but I doubt I will enough to get mouth cancer. I don't and wont ever smoke so it's no real worry for me.
