Snus has been popular in Sweden since the 1970s, allowing long-term research into its use and harm reduction potential. A long-term study, , published in June 2007 in the British medical journal Lancet, begun in 1978 by Dr. Olof Nyren and his colleagues at the Clinical Epidemiology Unit at Stockholm’s Karolinska Institute and involving 280,000 Swedish male construction workers, found no increased risk of lung or oral cancer among snus users compared to people who had never smoked.
For smokers the dominating part of he health risks are attributed to various smoke constituents that are formed during the burning process (carbon monoxide, oxidizing chemicals, benzo(a)pyrene and other “tar” ingredients etc). Since the snus user is not exposed to any of those combustion products, the health risks are bound to be much less than those of the smoker. The 2002 report of The Royal College of Physicians estimates (page 5) that “… the consumption of non-combustible tobacco is of the order of 10–1,000 times less hazardous than smoking, depending on the product.” There are reasons to believe that Swedish smokeless tobacco, snus, would be in the lower part of that interval, since it is manufactured by a different kind of process than American snuff (Ramström, 2000) resulting in levels of the carcinogenic nitrosamines being significantly lower than in American snuff (Hatsukami et al, 2004, Rodu et al, 2004). There are epidemiological studies confirming low or non-detectable risk levels for a number of diseases including oral cancer.
oh, cool. that makes me feel better.
they used to send me coupons for free tins all the time when they first came out and i tried them but i was paranoid that my jaw would fall off so i stopped.
Looking at fixedgnar’s floor causes me to twitch every time. I keep nothing in my bag. Tools and whatnot go in the seatbag. Everything else gets rotated in and out as needed.
After looking at gnars floor, I think I need to vacuum when I get home later.
I thought this thread was going to be about the article in the new issue of Cog about the reviewer with the replacement carbon Chrome bag that failed catastrophically. 
seems like most of you would be better off with just a murse.
messenger bag, murse, same difference.

on the subject of snus, I’ve used it to ween myself off cigarettes. it was the poor man’s nicorette. worked just fine.
and all the empty tins are great for carrying weed or storing bearings or small pieces while working on your bike if you dont have a magnetic tray.

yeah i try to snus now instead of drunk cigs
also, i forgot my book. like to have a book with me.
the camel snus pales in comparison to snus imported from sweeden btw.
how expensive is this swedish ish
19-26 kronor which is like $2.50-3.50. I buy 20 tins at a time and shipping is about 8 bucks and takes like a week. I get it from www.northerner.com.
I get my snus from here: http://www.iwanries.com/Swedish_Snus_C1410.cfm
there’s way more variety and it’s half as much from northerner. if i want general i can get it at the clog store in vail (like 45 min away).
