Makla El Hilal

[Snusdog]

Makla, or chema, which is actually the correct name for this kind of tobacco, is pretty clean product as UK lab tests indicate; amounts of proven harmful elements like lead etc. is minimal as is exposure; you simply can't make megaprillas out of it. Really like the stuff, especially genuine Algerian but Bentchicou maklas aren't bad.

Cigarettes don't have lead either……………just saying

I don't want to bad mouth a product........that is not what I am trying to do here......I just don't know the specifics about Makla (or chema) ........I'm glad it does not have lead but that still leaves TNSA levels unaccounted for

Do you have a link for the UK report

If everything is all clear on this.........then it would be great to be able to let our EU folks know that this is a viable (albeit somewhat nasty tasting) alternative when they can't get snus........however, it would be good to know the specifics first

The anti tobacco folks have lump all tobacco products together.........however, just as we do not accept their unfounded claim that all tobacco is equally harmful nor can we assume all smokeless is equally benign

Any studies that you know of that would shed light on this would be greatly appreciated

TSNA levels in makla products are even slightly lower than swedish snus ones.
