More then I ever wanted to know about snus

A hugh document about the effects of Swedish snus.

http://www.swedishmatch.com/Documen...the Scientific Literature on Snus 3-31-10.pdf

The ENVIRON review was initially intended to be used to inform Swedish Match and to be made available to key audiences. However, with the enactment of the US Smoking Prevention Control Act, the review will be a significant part of the information Swedish Match provides to the FDA under Section 904(a)(4) of the Act that requires each tobacco product manufacturer or importer, or agent thereof, to submit all documents developed after June 22, 2009 “that relate to health, toxicological, behavioral, or physiologic effects of current or future tobacco products, their constituents (including smoke constituents), ingredients, components, and additives.”

Ideally, the ENVIRON review will be of use to a range of regulatory bodies as well as researchers, the public health community, and other stakeholders. Certainly the review may be of use to FDA as it implements the provisions of Section 911 of the Smoking Prevention Control Act, provisions that call for the Agency to develop a process for characterizing modified risk tobacco products.[/

Looks like a good rainy day read

Interesting study Stubby. I'm reviewing the studies at the end of the document. It's interesting how many times tobacco use appears to show benefit rather than risk.
