Health issues OT Bits v/s Snus

[fatehbajwa]

Hi All,

I have been using Snus for a few years now.In my last order I also picked up a couple packs( are they called cans or boxes or what?)of OT Tobacco bits and must say I like them .

Was wondering if they are on par with Snus on health issues ?

Things like TSNA etc?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Used to toy around with those....first off....imho they got next to no nicotine......the ot website says something like "tsna's comparable to swedish snus"........what they are implying is that they are similiar but comparable could realistically be anything ....dont trust the man he'll bite your hand everytime.......anyway......back to oliver twists.......i believe the "original" ot .....or "regular" ot is fermented......so thats not good.......and finally im 99% certain that there is several different types of sugars present in ot.....which defintly used in the long term could ruin your teeth...............o yea and btw......they do not list ingredients like they do with snus...and another thing....they tend to unravel a bit especially if u use them as suggest and bite the piece.after "insert time here"....alot of ppl on the "on" use loose and regularly swallow bits and pieces of snus.....which is arguably dangerous to your health......i personally believe that this is much more so with the less certainty apparent with oliver twists and probably picannel

Yes they are.

And I like regular OT, too. As you might imagine, this forum has discussed this before. You can find that and a bunch of links at: http://www.snuson.com/viewtopic.php?t=1244

Thanks Bob...............guess OT Sr. is the stuff to be wary of (a bit).

Personally, I wish Senior were still available, but it isn't. The product was dropped maybe a year ago. It was very strong in both taste and nic hit. Now, regular is my favorite, since it has a faithful tobacco taste and decent nic hit. But I do miss Senior.
