I don't know If that's the final word on it, but seems conclusive?

I do t know about any medical issues.

But my issue with all nicotine products is that it is the strangest economic activity... nicotine has no palabable pleasure or benefit other than to reduce nicotine craving momentarily.

Getting into it is buying into an addiction.
 
Which is worse: vaping by the under 14s, to look cool, or Snusing to copy their footballer heroes whom it seems are adopting this stupid habit.
When you have had enough of the Snus that has been in your gob, how do you dispose of the residue?
Unless it disolves away to nothing in your mouth i can foresee lots of foul, mouth mangles Snus pods being gobbed out onto the ppavements.

It's been around for years, like the article states but seems to be spreading more and more now.
I think kids vaping is just as bad.
I believe you just bin it after an hour.

What, like smokers carefully bin dog-ends and filter tips?
And like vapers carefully dispose of used vapes?
And all dog owners always pick up their dog's faeces and bin the bags in dog-poo bins?
Wow!

Nicotine does have cardiovascular side effects, increasing heart rate and blood pressure but so can caffeine, which is used as a performance enhancer.
I was only responding to the mouth cancer claim.

But I simply searched, scanned the snippets and clipped the top one. So I'm far from having any deeper thoughts to add to my zero insight.

Chewing nicotine and tobacco directly? Yuck.

What’s wrong with a bag of Haribo?

Sorry, responding on the fly so barely putting coherent responses together. I just meant there's more issues than "just" the possibility of mouth cancer. There seems to be claim and counter claim about the risk of cancer from snus and other mouth tobacco products.

My owd man, as well as smoking 40 Parkies a day, also took the snuff - a tin a week. He probably didn't know about Snus, he'd be guttered to know.

Research into the biological impacts of addiction is (by some distance) the least interesting. Look what it does to the body!

The psychology of addiction is such that the typical addict gives no thought to the physical cost. Unless it's in the moment and soon forgotten.

I’ve had a quick look at the online library we use and came up with this, the most recent review article published.


If you can get to the bottom of the review and still be conscious, to paraphrase Rudyard Kipling, “You’re a better pharmacist than I am, Gunga Din”. 😴

My old teacher used to have snuff in class all the time, even gave us kids a try.

1970s were spot on. Then came snuff movies… ffs lol
