It's true, those can cause cancer as well, but not from nicotine. It's from all the other junk that is in the chew. On a public health scale though, the harms from smoking far outweigh chew.

Chewing Tabasco causes mouth cancer, But nicotine gum does not

I don't see chewing Tabasco really taking off though, except in some niche cases.

It’s certainly a big thing, But I live in the southern US so it’s biased
