Hey.. I found this chart online and I now how everybody loves to go thru the science so here is a little something to chew on. I have no idea what it means so I am not trying to make any point. I thought I would throw it up on here and let some of the experts have at it...
I found it intresting that the "Swedish Snus" had higher TSNA levels than I would have thought.. Of course, I understand that it does not state what "Swedish Snus" they used but it was a study for harm reduction so I don't think they were out to get Snus... The link for the study is below...

The concentrations here represent nanograms (ng) of toxin detected in 1 ruyan 16-mg multidose
cartridge (which contains approximately 1gm of e-liquid). They are compared to the
amount of toxin contained in approximately one tobacco cigarette (approximately 1gm of
tobacco) or one unit of nicotine replacement product.
