Wow, their ignorance disgusts me. They should have had someone from the Royal College of Physicians point out all of their flawed statements. I was angered when they claimed there was NO data to indicate snus is less harmful than cigarettes; it doesn't take a genius to find the studies posted all over the internet....

American lies are sweet Besides everyone knows what snus is here anyway, like we´re gonna listen to those americana´s

The whole world is built on lies, this is normal practice, imagine a world without lies, it would be horrible.

Chossy, the calmest Swed I know!

Well..they do say that Camel is exploiting Sweden's image to sell their product...can't say I don't disagree with that. This video is messed up because the girls (are they even medical researchers?) say how bad CAMEL snus is in the beginning but if you keep watching, in regards to a different topic, they claim that there is not enough research conducted on snus yet...so...if that's the case, how can they even claim how harmful it is? What about ACS's exploitation of two beautiful women to spread their lies??

[justintempler]

The problem is an America cigarette companies are prohibited from saying snus is safer than smoking. Then they critizize the cigarette companies for the way snus is marketed in the US. duh

This looks like a interesting conversation..... even though I don't understand a word of it except the word snus and a short interview new the end with some american Nazi. Something about free nicotine

I'm all for free nicotine.

Now if some of our Swedish friends could break this down for the rest of us

I like to imagine that the Swedish anchors are explaining how ****ing stupid these two little dipshit girls are in the parts where they are speaking Swedish.

Girl 1: we...uhhh...dont...like... really know how dangerous snus is...?

Girl 2: We do know it has a higher rate of pancreatic cancer. My PR coach never told me what the rate was higher than though, just that it was "higher." Here in the tobacco war we operate exclusively in empty vagaries, engineered to obscure scientific data and logical thought within the debate. Its kinda our thing.

Anchor 1(in Swedish): Is she really implying that we need more empirical evidence to conclude that sucking on tobacco is less dangerous than burning it and inhaling the fumes into your lungs?

Anchor 2(also in Swedish): Indeed she is. Thank God we have kept our beautiful Scandinavian asses out of that backward ass country.

[anchors exchange high-fives; turn to tobacco-free succubi]

Anchor 1 (in English): Thank you for all of your great work.

Girls in unison: Go Team! U S A!

I kept waiting for them to burst out laughing and accidentally spit there portion on the little american cuties.

@ f. - thanks for the laugh! I was totally visualizing the interview while reading your post! I'm sure that's what really went down too!

Anti-tobacco dude says Swedish match adds a lot of free nicotine to Ettan and General without informing consumers about it to get them more addicted. SM claims they follow the law, and anti guy agrees, but SM agrees they could be more informative. SM means that nicotine is addictive and everyone knows it, but also that they have not altered any recipes, they have been made the same way for 160 years.

Then they debate wheter free nicotine should be labeled on the can to inform consumers. Anti guy says SM should be more responsible etc. Sm guy says we welcome debate bla bla bla bla bla, maybe we can do more, bla bla bla..... bla bla open to discuss issues, follow regulations, we print everything on the label that law requires us to do, should we print something else, bla bla bla, let´s debate if for the coming 28 years or so and rech no conclusion etc bla bla bla. thanks for this informing information that made no sense and nobody cares or remembers......... ZZZzzzzzZzz

I assumed it was something like that when I heard the american screeching about free base nicotine. Who would a thunk it...... Swedish snus is optimized to deliver nicotine

I love that line of thought because it's so disgustingly circular. The antis are against ALL forms of tobacco and nicotine, so it doesn't matter one bit to them whether there is more or less of it in the product. It's like me complaining that my tomato juice is too cold when I don't drink tomato juice anyways.

[muddyfunkstar]

Oh wow, what a pair of smug, self-satisfied, patronising <expletive deleted>.

[shag1952]

Sounds like a bunch of slanted crap to me, funny they noted the "increased rate of pancreatic cancer" but said nothing about no lung cancer, no heart disease or hardening of the arteries...................
