A member asked:

Why don't you advocate for swedish snus for smoking cessation and harm reduction? it is safer than smoking and other st. many papers have found this.

Politics: You're correct. Studies are divided as to whether swedes who use 'snus' have an increased cancer risk; i was surprised at the 2007 study showing no risk. The stuff is addictive and i'm not going to advocate for this. Although it's much safer to chew than to smoke, and I have told young people this, the politically correct answer is 'you should not use any tobacco.'.
