Snus is one of the types of chewing tobacco, which is common in Sweden. In our country, it has been banned since 2015. In this article we will tell you what this chewing tobacco is and how harmful to health is.
What is snus?
About this form of chewing room has become known since 1696, it was in Sweden. In this country, this kind of tobacco began to produce for the first time. It is nothing more than a mixture of soda, salt, water and directly chopped tobacco leaves. Soda is added to improve the permeability of nicotine into the blood. Usually this tobacco is laid between the upper or lower lip and the gums, withstand there for 30-60 minutes. It is during this time that tobacco penetrates the body.
It is believed that this kind of delivery of nicotine to the body is safer than cigarettes, because the process of combustion is excluded. Accordingly, resins, as well as other harmful substances, do not enter the body. Accordingly, the purified nicotine is used. Many believe that this is one of the alternatives to rejection of smoking, which helps reduce the risk of lung cancer and respiratory diseases.
Chewing tobacco Snus: Refusal of smoking or new addiction?
However, studies of scientists of many countries confirm that Snus in no case is not replacing ordinary cigarettes, and even more so is a way to quit smoking. The fact is that if Snus is not sold in individual small bags, but in a scattered one, then the smoker himself can regulate the amount of nicotine used. Therefore, the content of nicotine in the blood during smoking and the use of snuff is not much different.
According to the results of the study, it was found that as a result of the cancellation of chewing tobacco, there is a cancellation syndrome. A person has a fever, he does not know what to occupy himself, and very often gains weight. Because it starts to eat a lot. Because of this, Snus was banned in many countries, because the amount of nicotine is no less than that which is used with cigarettes.
Snus: consequences of consumption
Of course, unlike ordinary cigarettes that smoke, Snus does not affect the work of the lungs, but he has a lot of negative qualities.
The consequences of the use of Snus:
- Gum diseases. Very often the neck of the tooth is exposed
- Erosion of the gum. Stomatitis is often observed, as well as caries. The teeth deteriorate very quickly
- Diseases of the larynxas well as ulcers and erosion of the oral cavity. Stomatitis, damage to the esophagus, as well as the intestine is possible
- Often there is an ulcer or gastingt due to the fact that nicotine enters the gastrointestinal tract and esophagus
Some scientists associate the development of esophagus cancer, as well as the intestines with the use of snus. In addition, the cardiovascular system, which wear out. In Sweden, it is noted that at least 5% of people who had a heart attack used Snus. That is, doctors associate the use of this nicotin -containing substance with heart attacks and diseases of the heart.
In our country, as in other countries of Europe, as well as America, Snus has become popular due to the ban on smoking cigarettes in public places. Because it is very convenient to take a portion of Snus, invest between the lip and the gum, and simply dissolve. In this case, a decent dose of nicotine enters the body without smoking. We do not recommend using this type of chewing tobacco, because it also has a lot of negative characteristics. It is no less harmful than tobacco, and worsens the state of health, reducing immunity.
