Personally, I have been told by at least two people that smoking mentholated cigarettes whilst chewing mint gum/candy causes cancer. There are two answers I can give you: firstly, most sugarless Chewing Gum contains phenylalanine (phenylketonurics). This chemical compound is found in Aspartame (i.e. Equal sweetening agent) and is thought to lead to cancer (unsubstantiated, citation needed). This, with the added cancer causing agents of tobacco smoke, can possibly lead to increased probability of mouth cancer. It is thought that the phenylalanine combined with carcinogens from cigarette smoke, can cause an increased risk of cancer. However, I believe that one cannot acquire cancer of the mouth from that alone. In my opinion, its no more harmful than chewing tobacco, dip, etc. One must keep in mind when ingesting chemical compounds, what exactly they are ingesting. If it seems bad for you, it probably is. I have been a smoker now for five years, and understand completely that I am slowly killing myself. But pleasure, and satisfaction come first in my book. Enjoy life, but be careful and knowledgeable
