Snus statistics ?

[rolygate]

I would like to gather some stats on Snus. If anyone can give me some data or point me to links, it would be greatly appreciated. For example:

-- Number of Snus users in Sweden, US, UK, etc
-- Smoking-related death stats for Sweden
-- Clinical trial stats for Snus: success rate for switching from tobacco, etc

Many thanks.

I find it a bit too nippy on the mouth. I do know however that pretty much all of Sweden are now using it...even the politicians.

I did find this however.

1970s to today – A success story
At the end of 1960s, snus again become increasingly popular, as the health risks associated with cigarette smoking were revealed in a number of reports.

The first portion-packed snus was launched in the 1970s, an important step for snus reaching a wider clientele.

Since then, sales of snus have kept increasing. During 2003, 193 million cans of snus—6,761 tons—were sold to approximately one million snus users in Sweden. Never before had such a great number of Swedish people of all social classes used snus. The usage of snus has also taken a step over the customary gender barriers, and women now account for nearly a fifth of snus consumers.

Additionally, strong traditions of snus usage have developed in Northern Europe, North America, Africa and some countries in Asia.
