Lame article about snus brand naming

[ponysoprano]

Feel free to move this to a more appropriate category mods!
Guys, I was doing a search to see if I could find any Swedish snus print ads online...I found this "product naming blog" by a person who's obviously anti-tobacco and claims that the word "snus" was "chosen" because it's "kid friendly". It's so ridiculous it must be read. It's about Marlboro snus specifically, but shows a graphic of a can of mocca+

I have seen many of these types of rants online where the user has no credibility whatsoever. Of course it bothers be but those of us who know better have the intelligence to look further into these things than come up with reasoning like relating snus to smurfs..
I am a vegetarian, and it feels so normal for me being like this for so long. However I have come upon MANY people who are idiots like this, with idiotic reasoning behind why you should not eat meat. I do much more research into something before I fall for it rather than something like the little baby cows are suffering. I like snus and people like this won't do anything to stop that, so I say just let it go.
We know who has credibility and who has the mind of a 12 year old to rant about relations to smurfs and cartoons!!

Hey guys, I think Budweiser is marketing to kids...

If you rearrange the letters in Bud Light Lime, you get miLe, which is one letter away from that cute disney channel starlet, so obviously Bud wants kids to drink!

What a f*cking idiot. I can't stand people.

By the way, nothing against Faethwur, but is there a 10 year old alive today who even KNOWS what a smurf is? I mean, seriously, these kids were born in 1998! I'm almost 24 and I barely remember watching that show...

You also never hear that the study linking pancreatic cancer to snus was a study that followed a group of construction workers over 30 years. At the beginning of the study the levels of TSNA's were much higher in Swedish smokeless tobacco and many of those studied had been using moist snuff for years.
