What kind of water they using in snus?

Does the water in snus contain fluoride?

Don't know. I'd assume it's purified municipal water. Whatever gets supplied around the factory, would be what they used.

Sugar and fluoride content of various forms of tobacco

RE Going, SC Hsu, RL Pollack, and LD Haugh

Previous studies have produced conflicting reports about the possible relationship between the chewing and smoking of tobacco and the incidence of caries.

This study identifies the total sugar and the fluoride concentrations of various forms of tobacco from different areas of the United States.

This is the first part of an investigation of caries-promoting and caries-inhibiting substances in commercial tobacco products.

The total sugar content of pouch and plug forms of tobacco was, on the average, highest, followed by decreasing concentration in the pipe, cigarette, cigar, and snuff forms of tobacco. Fluoride content of the plug and pouch forms of tobacco was highest, followed by cigar, snuff, pipe, and cigarette tobacco, respectively.

Generally, nonsmoking forms of tobacco are most directly related to the potential promotion of caries.

The total sugar content in the control tobacco leaves was comparable to that in cigars and snuff which have the least amount of sugar, whereas the fluoride content was similar to plug and pouch which have the highest amount of fluoride.

Brands of snuff on average had the lowest concentrations of sugar (average 1.9%) and were among the products with the lowest fluoride content (average 0.26 ppm).

Pouch and plug exceeded other forms in both sugar and fluoride content.

Large variations in sugar and fluoride levels of tobacco products can exist form-to-form, store-to-store, brand-to-brand, and state-to-state. This may explain the diverse opinions of dental practitioners and investigators relative to the concept that tobacco increases or decreases dental caries.



Worried about fluoride (also in tea and other ingestibles)? Check this out...
smokeless tobacco and fluoride

Thanks alot. I did a little research and from what I read the water has no sodium fluoride.

Thanks alot. I did a little research and from what I read the water has no sodium fluoride.

But the tobacco, from all indications, does contain fluoride ... and sugars ... naturally.

[ccallstars]

I was just more curious as to wether or not the water they were using had been treated with sodium fluoride. Thanks for you're contribution,it was very helpful.

[whalen]

Not worth sitting around worrying about!

[Crow]

I'm curious... Why are you concerned about the fluoride content in their water supply?

[Snusdog]

I heard they used Unicorn tears

Which if it does contain fluoride……………is magic fluoride
