A cohort study of 40,230 Swedish male construction workers with incident cancer.

I still want to know, and the late Snusgetter does too:

How many "old" snusers are there? Let's say pensioners at least, and I'd even go so far as not saying "old" 'till 70. To me, 70 is the first goal.

Perhaps it's my naivete, but I'd have to imagine a sort of bell curve when you distribute snus usage across age groups. Since snus has been around for perhaps centuries there should be more data but I don't imagine there is really. I'm curious to know when the usage drops off based on current data, and more importantly why? Is it a medical reason, a perceived medical reason, money, life's outlook, what? I'm not really interested in how or why people start really. People are going to do it anyhow...I did...for no good reason at all. I'm interested in why they stop.

That is a very good question..............and if answered………… it might provide information that is actually useful.........vs the usual propaganda that tells us nothing but who sponsored the study

Well, what are the stats from the retailers represented here? I'm sure the marketing departments have some sort of data it bases decisions on. It could hardly be a secret too, I mean I can't imagine it would vary greatly except for the niche market(s) that target women or what have you. The manufacturers use descriptions like this:

Blended using only the purest Norwegian spring water for a distinctive fresh taste, Taboca embodies the conscious desire to be individual, to make your own statement and to show your appreciation for the finer things in life. Bold, distinctive packaging promises standout from older, traditional brands giving younger snus consumers the means to discover their own independence.

I'd like to believe that's more than just flowery horse schit.

I'd like an application for ad writer............cause I could do better than that @ 5:30 in the morning sitting on the toilet

I gave up the cigs because they are expensive and made me sick and breathless. It is also the equivalent of being a leper in our politically correct new world order,to be seen with a cigarette in public. Snus is the answer in every respect. The ignorant masses of sheeple can kiss my hairy arse.
