- genocidicbunny 6y agoNicotine is a large part of the addiction capability of the delivery method. I think the trouble is that all that limiting nicotine would do is increase consumption (you need more cigarettes to get the same nicotine fix) and thus would actually increase the damage. It needs to be combined with other measures to be effective.
- carlhjerpe 6y agoIn Sweden "snus" is really common, usually delivered in poches[1]. Health consequences doesn't seem too bad[2]. I'm a user and "my doctor" doesn't really think there's an issue with that, while everyone suggests people to stop smoking. It's very non-invasive and quite cheap. It'd be more expensive for me to stop (because of increased sugar consumption, which is also bad for your health). EDIT: My dentist even said Snus is good for my teeth since something related to the PH level of the saliva, but bad for your gum, so you need to be careful brushing and such. 1: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cd/Portioned_snus.jpg/220px-Portioned_snus.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cd/Po... 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snus#Health_consequences https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snus#Health_consequences
