    TSNA's in snus, snuff & cigs

    I happened to come across this site while reading on health issues related to snus. This shows how different brands of tobacco compare as far as TSNAs are concerned. Check it out if you would like to see the list:

    Sorry if this info. has been posted before. Too lazy to go back and read all the old posts.

    Very interesting, but the thing that I'm curious about would be the remaining TSNSAs left in the "spent" tobacco.

    Do readings on the same weight of "used" dip, snus, chew and cigrette ash to find out how much of the TSNSAs are left behind in the user. We all know that we don't actually absorb the full nicotine content of a pris or portion.

      Wow, Red Man has fewer than the snus they listed.

      I wouldn't have guesses that.

        Yeah but that Redman is chewing tobacco, not snuff. I think all of the swedish match snuffs are low though, lower than Skoal. They are Longhorn, Timberwolf and Redman I believe.

            It is interesting that even the American snuff manufactured by Swedish Match companies have pretty low TSNSAs. I do have a sample of Red Man moist snuff coming in the mail. I wounder if I will turn green if I use it like snus :?: Of course I could never swallow with a wad of Red Man chewing tobacco in my mouth and that has the lowest TSNAs of everything, except Oliver Twist, mabe if I used a small amount like you would an Oliver Twist?

              Hey Bondzai..that was an interesting 'boring' article. I like how they showed the changes in aging products, but I agree with eli, it would be interesting to see the amounts in used snus/snuff. Even with the low levels, people will still slam snus just because it does contain TSNAs...those people need to go and slam rubbermaid and tupperware who make plastic containers that leech carcinogens out into our food!!! UGH!!!

                    Redman chewing tobacco's ingredients are not out of the ordinary either, but it does contain a ton of sugars. Comparing to Swedish snus, it does contain more preservatives and additives, but nothing like one would expect from American moist snuff or chewing tobacco. Anyone have any information on the accuracy of that 1.8ppm tsna level for redman? That is pretty amazing.

                      I don't know much about Redman, but if it's made from air-cured tobacco, the numbers seem just normal. Why should they be higher than with snus?

                      Cheers!

                        When I first started smoking I also occasionally chewed Redman Golden Blend. I guess I should have stuck with the chew. Now 15 years latter I haven't smoked at all in over a week - first time I've gone that long since I started - thanks to snus.

                        Its Interesting to see the differences in total TSNA levels for dip in the two reports (2001 vs 2003). Interesting the second lowest TSNA's in this report come from Timber Wolf a Swedish Match product.

                          well certainly long cut is easier to put in. short cut is easier to wash out of the mouth. Short cut can tend to swim around the mouth. You can maneuver long cut with your tongue. If you dip up top, you hardly have to spit. A lot of people think its easier to use short cut up top. short cut gives a bigger hit I have heard. Maybe thats why snus gives a big hit because it is pulverized.
