These people should lose their jobs. I posted-
"If I were Kyle Hertzler, a paid health expert, I would insure quotes made by me were accurate, especially in the press. Most smokeless
tobacco is far safer than smoking as has already been commented on. The products specified in the article all certainly are.
I happen to have a preference for Swedish snus, which, along with E cigs, got me off a 43 year 2-3 pack a day habit. I believed health officials for decades feeding misinformation and disinformation to support their prohibitionist attitudes. The only elevated health risks identified by scientific study for snus was pancreatic cancer. A never smoker had about a 4 in 100k chance of developing it, a snus user had about an 8 in 100k chance and a smoker had about a 12 in 100k chance. Does that sound like snus is just as bad as smoking?
I believe this health expert should do some studying before offering quotes."
