I have personally seen the effects of chewing tobacco on 2 people I knew quite well. The worse case was a 50 yr old who had 1/2 his tongue removed 1 year before the he died. It was a truly sad state. Could barely talk in his last few months.
The other younger guy (40ish) is quickly headed down that path. The veins in and around his mouth are severely morphed/discolored.
Admittedly I don't know any statistics on this, but it wouldn't suprise me if chewing tobacco is far more lethal than a 1 pack a day habit....
Take care of yourself SKOAL...
