The reasearch speaks volumes as to snus' safety. YET it is more then possible to buy loose leaf, American style moist snuff (Skoal, Copenhagen, etc), plug and all the other forms of toxic, fire cured oral tobacco in Europe. My feelings are that they need hard cancer statistics to justify thier high taxes on tobacco products, and Swedish snus does not deliver.

As for those who would tell me I didnt' truly quit as I am using a tobacco product still: for many smokers, and I was one of them, it comes down to quit or die................ Most die. Snus saved me from a painful and expensive death, hearing it slandered like this really gets to me!
