Foraging around on the web for information on snus for my own use I ran across a fair bit of interesting published information on medical and smoking reduction/cessation issues related to these tobacco products. My apologies if some of this may duplicate information already existing elsewhere on this site, but I thought it might be useful to others to aggregate some of the informative links I've saved, and encourage others to add any of their own, to provide an easily accessible place for folks wanting to look into these questions.
Health issues aren't a major concern of mine, but they do hold some interest for me, and probably a lot more interest for some others on this site. Smoking cessation stuff has no interest at all for me, but I know it does for a lot of others here, so I include some stuff I stumbled across while looking into snus use for other reasons.
