And now to something completely different: Smoking cigarettes is much worse than Swedish tobacco, also known as Snus, which is enjoyed pressed against the gums. It is smokeless and not an annoyance to surrounding people ecxept when spite out.
In the Tobacco control community there is controversy over the subject of Snus. Some believe it will get young people hooked on Nicotine. Other argue that this is paternalism and that all facts about should be laid forward and people allowed to choose. It is also argued that Snus is too specific to Swedish culture to ever gain popularity worldwide in competition with the more damaging cigarettes.
