Snus is a smokeless tobacco product that is packed into pouches and is consumed by placing it in the mouth. It contains nicotine, which is addictive and can lead to nicotine dependence. It also carries some health risks, such as the risk of periodontal disease and oral cancer. Snus use may also increase the risk of cigarette smoking or serve as a gateway to cigarette smoking.Check this out :https://heysnus.com/fr

Studies have shown that snus is less likely to cause dental problems than cigarettes. However, snus can still be associated with periodontitis, which is more severe and more dangerous than tooth decay. Using snus can also sustain or worsen existing nicotine dependence, particularly if a person is not in control of their use and is using it as a substitute for cigarette smoking with no clear plan to quit smoking.

There is limited evidence on whether snus can reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease or stroke. Cardiovascular disease is a group of conditions that affects the heart and blood vessels including ischaemic heart disease (which can lead to myocardial infarction or stroke). Some factors that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease include being overweight (as indicated by an increased BMI), high cholesterol, high blood pressure, physical inactivity, tobacco smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, family history of heart disease and ethnicity.

The Bath TCRG’s list of publications on SLT includes some research on the harm reduction potential of snus and information about regulations at country level.
