Snus seems to be healthier than cigarettes, since as they are not smoked, it doesn’t affect the lungs as cigarettes do.

It also contains less carcinogens than cigarettes sine it is not fire-cured as cigarettes but steam-cured.

This is the reason why the lung cancer rate is so low in Sweden compared with the rest of Europe.

But the effects of snus still are not clear.

The high nicotine containt also affect the health. It also has high effect in the mouth. Most of snus users have holes under their lips that can even reach the lachrymal. The use of snus dirties the mouth and can produce mouth cancer.
