Expensive - Invalid. Cheaper than smoking and lasts longer because you use less.
Negative Health Effects - No study has shown snus to have any negaitve health effects.
Ruin Social Life - Really? Was this just thrown in to make you look even more poorly researched than you already do?
The facts are the facts, you can't debate them. Snus is the safest form of tobacco consumption available and doesn't have any of the effects you list in your "informative" video.
Discolored Teeth - Invalid. Snus has not been proven to cause any negative effects to your oral cavity.
Cancer - Invalid. Snus has been proven not to cause cancer. (the Swedish variety).
Addicted - True, addiction is a side effect of nicotine. But quitting smoking by switching to snus is a better choice. I'd take addiction over cancer any day. "Quit or Die" doesn't work and people need options!
I'm not sure if there's ever been a documented case of cancer from snus. The PSA is correct that pancreatic cancer is the only cancer that Swedish snus could cause but as far as I know (I don't use snus) the risk is VERY SMALL when compared to cigarettes, smoking causes far more pancreatic cancer than snus, Swedes have the lowest rate of tobacco related disease in EU, now if you were to always have a 22 nicotine mg snus in your lip 24/7 then it could probably cause health problems I don't know?
Any doctor that claims a patient's pancreatic cancer was caused by their snus habit should lose their medical license. There is no conclusive evidence that snus causes, contributes to, or increases the likelihood of pancreatic or any other cancer. There were some studies done that provided some SPECULATIVE evidence that snus MIGHT be a contributor to an increased risk of pancreatic cancer; these results have never been repeated and it is therefore not a valid medical conclusion.
This video must have been produced by morons. Snus is 90%+ safer than smoking and has helped thousands of people to reduce or stop their smoking habit.
hmm it may cause disecolored teeth true but so do coffe 2 and liquer so more prexises are they going whit this. and yahh i don´t think snus is so magical that it don´t have sideeffects but on the outher hand u dont get lungcancer.
so mayby its good to change from smoking to snus but if u don´t use tobacoo then don´t start at all then..... sweden over and out
Another mind altering substance which will stain teeth, form an addictive habit, and have some debatable detriment to their health after prolonged use is actually the coffee which each of them have sitting at their sides. To discuss the dangers that come from a mildly unhealthy habit over a few cups of coffee is, well, ridiculous.
I'm biased, as an ex-smoker who quit by switching to Swedish snus, but I feel that the value of harm-reduction is often overshadowed by a demonized view of tobacco.
Get your facts straight about snus. This product has been studied time and time again. Swedish snus has not been directly associated with any negative health risks.
Just curious. How would it affect his social life? Interesting how they didn't care to explain that one. I'm not saying this is a lie about snus, but they need to drop the little hidden negative effects and just be straight up about it.
This is ridiculous. I smoked for 16 years and I quit smoking by using snus instead. Snus doesnt have the carcinogens that cigarettes or any American tobacco has because it is steam-cured not fire-cured. Sweden has the lowest cancer and smoking rate in the world, look it up. Plus it tastes good :)
Since when did snus discolor your teeth? As well, if the man in the video kept smoking, he would have a doubled risk of contracting pancreatic cancer from cigarettes.
Wow, where to start. camel snus isnt actual snus. its candy. thats all it is. tons of sugar that cloud any tobacco taste. Swedish snus is pasturized and inspected by the government. Swedish Snus hasnt been linked to oral cancer by any swedish studies, it has been linked to pancreatic cancer. Since snus goes into the upper lip, or at least supposed to, it doesnt salivate near as much as dip and your teeth remain white. this would never air because its retarded.
Snus is awesome! I quit smoking with Snus. Snus is not nearly as bad as smoking.. I spent hours reading articles and researching Snus; and looking at the statistics. Gimme a break.. You should make a video on regular chewing tobacco and dip, not Snus..
@BlackLookingGlass Agreed. Snus saved me! I love that stuff. Anyone who thinks Snus is just as bad as smokes is retarded. I already feel much much better.
Snus is perfectly fine and actually helps your teeth do to its acidic properties and coffee liquor and other things stain teeth this vid was a fail.

We're talking about someone with a smoking habit, and even old school stain your teeth chewing tobacco cuts cuts most of the harm out of the equation.
tinyurl com / FDA-on-snus
As stated no elevated risk of cancer.
Existing smokers and coffee drinkers are already at risk for stained teeth,
Look, you sort of need the scientific research to back up the risk factor of snus vs smoking.
