Snus Tobacco Has An Overall Positive Effect On Public Health

[trebli]

"Snus tobacco has an overall positive effect on public health, a new study has found. Researchers at the Norwegian Institute of Alcohol and Drug Policy have determined that the smokefree tobacco product is associated with a net reduction in tobacco-related mortality. Although the product itself cannot be considered harmless, its market presence appears to curb cigarette use and boost cessation attempts."


It's good to see mainstream news articles embracing the notion of harm reduction via snus.

There might be some protective effects from cancer due to the flavonoids in tobacco....except the pancreas.

Hmmm. Yeah snus and vaping both will have huge positive effects on the health of the public therefore allowing us to add more years to our dotage thereby extending the burden on our health care systems. TANSTAFL and not only that but from a strictly actuarial point of view to reduce the budget busting health and monetary benefits of the elderly governments should be handing out cigarettes for free. It may be possible to be overmuch the cynic these days but I rather doubt it.
