It wasn't saving me money and I could tell it probably wasn't much better on my gums. I have really good teeth but was getting receeding gums and they were bleeding when I brushed my teeth. I then switched to vaping and haven't looked back. I don't pretend that it's healthy but my lungs were still in good shape since I didn't smoke, so I feel like it has given me some more time to spare before I ruin something bc of my nicotine habit.
The receding gum problem is most likely do to the sweeteners and absolute garbage in the product. If you want to chew, I'd suggest buying Whole Fronto leafs, and tearing off a strip of leaf and just chewing that. It's pretty lovely and I've never had issues with my mouth with it. Normally when I chewed traditional chewing products like Copenhagen or whatnot it would make my mouth hurt, with bumps and sores occasionally, not to mention thrush and bad breath with gum bleeding. All the standard chewing stuff. You can find fronto leafs at most head shops or online. Go with plain flavors. Sometimes they offer vanilla fronto leaves, but that **** has PG and aspartame.

As far as vaping goes, there is no contest in vaping vs. smoking regarding health. Vaping is simply better for you. Tar is highly carcinogenic, and hot smoke from cigarettes is dense and damages the lungs. Multiple studies have shown vaping increases your chance of cancer by 2%. I like those odds. Just youtube some Dr's opinions on vaping and do your own due diligence.
Personally I think PG is garbage, so I elect for pure VG options with organic and more subtle flavors. I hate vaping over the top flavors where everyone within a 6 mile radius can smell my "BLUBERRY SIZZERP BIRTHDAY CAKE FART" flavored vape juice.
