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.<br />Using modern smokeless tobacco products like snus can reduce the risks of tobacco use by about 90-99% compared to smoking.
