Is It Possible To Be Allergic To Something By Smokeless Tobacco ?

Is it possible to be allergic to something in smokeless tobacco ? My boyfriend chews and I know I get very sick after being around cigarettes, but have never had to deal with smokeless until now. Is there a product in it that could cause me to get bronchitis, get better, and it reoccr after a week after elongated exposure to it though kissing.

Hi.. Allergens cannot be predicted.. The only way of knowing if you are allergic to a product is by means of exposing to a small amount of the product.. If you do develop allergic symptoms, then you have to avoid it...
