Reduce the risk with 90-99% by using snus

Everyone knows that smoking is unhealthy, but a lot of people still smoke to get nicotine from tobacco. Few people realize that it is the smoke, not the or the tobacco that is so unhealthy. The dominant message to smokers is that they must quit or die – there are no other options. But this is simply not true. There are other options for people who cannot or will not stop using nicotine products.
Using modern smokeless tobacco products like snus can reduce the risks of tobacco use by about 90-99% compared to smoking. Many modern products require no spitting and are as easy to use as a breath mint.
