We've all heard how many different chemicals are in cigarettes and chewing tobacco. But there's a myth that nobody has the answer to, and I think the Mythbusters could solve. Does chewing tobacco have microscopic pieces of fiberglass in it?

The myth is that the glass makes little cuts in your gums, allowing the flavor to be more easily absorbed. A simple google search shows how widespread this myth is.

Anyway, that's my suggestion for a myth that the Mythbusters could try and bust. Thanks for reading.

A simple Google search will also show that this is a rediculous claim. Not only would it be illegal, there would be no point in it. Nicotine can be absorbed very easily by mouth lining and if there were fiberglass in the tobacco, the bleeding resulting from the cuts would actually interfere with absorption. Plus, it would be very noticible if there were little cuts inside your mouth all the time, dont you think?
