Take Action!
Quit Smoking
Using tobacco in any form (cigarettes, cigars, pipe, spit tobacco) raises your risk for getting gum disease and oral (mouth) cancer.
Drink Alcohol in Moderation
Drinking a lot of alcohol can increase your risk for oral cancer. If you choose to drink, have only a moderate (limited) amount. Moderate means one drink a day for women; two drinks a day for men.
