Smokeless tobacco is a SAFER
alternative to cigarette and cigar smoking (not
safe, but safer). Snuff helps smokers quit smoking
by switching the quitter from cigarettes and cigars
to smokeless snuff.
Smokeless tobacco is far safer and it still delivers
the nicotine you crave. Snuff carries only a
fraction of the oral cancer risk of smoking, and
none of the lung cancer risk. It's a safer
alternative, and a useful stepping stone to quitting
tobacco altogether.
All forms of tobacco use are not associated with
health risks of the same type or magnitude. For
example, risks from cigarette smoking result in the
loss of an average of 8 years of life for smokers.
In contrast, lifelong smokeless tobacco users lose
0.04 year on average.
