...many years now, oral and maxillofacial surgeons have been warning smokeless-tobacco users of the potential health hazard posed by these products. We are extremely pleased that many lawmakers are now considering legislation requiring warnings on smokeless-tobacco products sold in their states and that the Surgeon General has appointed a panel to study this issue.
