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 Only 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.
