Health risk Oliver Twist - Snus

[chainsnuser]

Note the interesting comparison of tobacco's "deadly" contents with common foods!

Thanks for the link. Yeah, I always suspected, that the whole "tobacco contains plutonium (etc.) propaganda" is bullshit or at least hopelessly exaggerated. It's even more ridiculous, than I though.
It's like the bullshit, that has formerly been propagated about how unbelievable healthy spinach is (the older ones among us will remember).

The longer the scientific community lets some idiots spread their nonsense about tobacco, salt, fat, sugar ... the more laughable the whole medical science will become.

These days, I hardly believe anything a medic says. Most of them seem to have no hard facts, but a clear agenda.

Cheers!

There is a very technical paper available online that compares almost all smokeless options, including Oliver Twist, to cigarettes in causing oral cancers. Swedish snus are highlighted. It's in Adobe PDF. Material of interest is in tables 2 and 3 on pages marked as 257 and 258. Note the interesting comparison of tobacco's "deadly" contents with common foods!

Hi Alf,

welcome to the forum!

I don't think, that there are any detailed informations available, since it's a niche-product. It's also for sale in Sweden, so I assume that OT has to conform with the Swedish food-laws, just as snus. The warning-labels are the same as for snus or nasal snuff (no cancer-warning!).

AFAIK OT contains comparatively little sugar and has the same TSNA-levels as snus.

http://www.oliver-twist.dk/engelsk%20html/e-faq.html has some answers to frequently asked questions.

After 20 years of heavy smoking, I'm personally not very anxious about possible slight differences between products of smokeless tobacco (e.g. TSNA-contents). They are all at least a hundred times safer than to smoke.

Do you have any detailed informations about the health-risks of American chewing-tobacco (apart from the well-known horror-stories and the obviously high sugar-content)?

Cheers!

Hello,

I would like to know if anybody has some detailled information about the health risk of Oliver Twist (OT) compared to snus. Is it the same? Or is OT more like American chewing tobacco?
I like OT sometimes, because it is so discreet.
Thanks for answers

Alf
