Loving some Oliver Twists using 3 at a time... and it saves my gums as i put it inbetween my cheek and gums. The original has a nice flavour and i think is air-cured tobacco with smoke flavouring. I understand these products are low in TSNA but they are not pasteurised though sold vacuum sealed. I love them more than some snus (heresy i know) but how good are they for me compared with Swedish snus?
Love Oliver Twist but how safe is it in terms of harm reduction?

The sugar content doesn't worry me. This worries me a bit, from google translate on a German site:
Health
Chewing tobacco contains tobacco-specific nitrosamines, some of which are carcinogens. There is evidence that the most common in the southern U.S. consumption of chewing tobacco is related to the development of oral cancer related.
An advantage over the smoking of tobacco, that the smoke enters the lungs, which can lead to tar deposits there.
A study by the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, which compared 182 Kautabakkonsumenten with 400 smokers, it is concluded that through the oral mucosa, the cancer-causing substances are effective in the blood stream and thus the exposure to these substances is significantly higher in Kautabakkonsumenten than in smokers. However, the amount of pollutants in the chewing tobacco also affects how much pollutants found again later in the body eg in the commercial chewing tobacco in Germany only 1/10 of the pollutants (nitrosamines), which are included in the standard of the United States.
There was also the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis out that chewing tobacco Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contains. Health effects of PAHs can be as eye and respiratory irritation and / or reduced fertility. Moreover, the PAHs are carcinogenic.

Its very low I checked the site, when you buy tin there is a code you can enter to sign up to product test new stuff from them which is cool. Ansel I wouldn't worry about it too much, the amount that gets in is so small, you breath in worse just being in a city! Just enjoy them whilst you can before the EU (or worse our government) try to force tabs on us as the only way of using tobacco!

Chewing tobacco, at least with American brands is uniformly low in TSNAs. They're comparable to snus. I'd be more worried about the sugar. Tooth rot's no fun, and keeping a sugar compress near the gumline(where recession can reveal unenamled tooth) could lead to losing teeth, or getting unattractive patches applied.
