      I don't mind, as I am not a converter, so I am don't worry about please people and selling them snus. But I like the "Smokeless tobacco is addictive" warning as it says nothing in terms of health risks or anything, they might as well be saying "nicotine is addictive".

      But in terms of telling people that snus is better than _____, I say just show them the portion of the tin that lists the actual ingredients, "tobacco, artificial flavoring, water[...]" and have the other person try to show the ingredients on his pack of cigarettes and or dip. I think knowing what actually is in this stuff is enough of reason as to why snus would be better, compare that to cigarettes that require hours of Googling only to end up with the summary, "99% shit, 1% actual tobacco".

        Why can't Swedish Match make the text white and the background black on the warning labels? The label will blend in with the can better.

          No kidding! They don't look half bad on the Camel tins. Even better, use black text on a black background :^D

            Too bad they couldn't put a sticker on there that said "Using This Product May Cause You To Quit Smoking".

                What do the Original Portion cans look like? In matter of fact, is Swedish Match still marketing the Original Portions in America?

                      We'd probably have those printed on our snus tins if it ever was legalised to sell here :/

                          I wonder if the white letter on black background is part of the new law, as this is how it in on that new Camel SNUS tin, and on this can of Skoal I recently got.

                            I wonder when boxes of Donuts will have pictures of morbid obesity, and amputated diabetic legs?

                              Some of the warnings I find more offensive than others.

                              "Warning: Smokeless tobacco is addictive" merely states the obvious and may keep non nicotine users from picking up an unneeded habit.

                              "This product is not a safe alternative to cigarettes". While misleading is easy enough to explain to a smoker by making an equally "truthful" statement such as ... "Obeying the speed limit and wearing your seatbelt while driving while paying attention to your surroundings is not a safe alternative for getting hammered and driving you car 100mph while texting and not wearing a seatbelt.

                              The ones that say this product causes mouth cancer are the ones that really suck and make me want to hide my cans. While it may be "true", the base risk is so small and the increased risk so tiny. I don't think most smokers realize that smoking is a much greater risk factor for mouth cancer than ST. I know I didn't before I did my research.

                                Heh. with any tobacco product most, if not all, people are aware to some degree about the health effects. So the warnings on these products are some what redundant, unless you have been living under a rock for most of your life. And then you have places like fastfood, that only are required to talk about calorie content, something that most of the average people probably still don't really understand how much of an impact it really has on their health. So shoving down donuts in your throat is shown to be completely "safe" and then tobacco gets the retard treatment.

                                It almost as though snus is getting the marijuana treatment, because in terms of the ingredients that are actually used they are essentially a naturally grown product. Donuts and other shitty fastfood have ingredients that reads like some chemistry formula, modified this modified that, https://www.dunkindonuts.com/aboutus...nuts&id=DD-530.

                                I think Snus deserves the "organic" label.
