Hi,
It is difficult to which one is safer as there are no studies comparing the two. Also, the harm depends not only on the tobacco content but also on the other additives present. In my opinion, it will be better if you can use nicotine containing chewing gum instead of the usual forms of chewing tobacco. This reduces your harm and is also easier to quit. Gradually you can reduce the number of chewing gums used per day and finally stop.
Best wishes.
