yes sure we do....

I am not a smoker, however, instinct tells me that many smokers would not be willing to switch to smokeless tobacco because I don't think it would be quite as effective.

Heh, I don't think so. It's probably about 95% less satisfying too.

Here is an extract copied from the statement by Dr. Jonathan Foulds, MA, MAppSci, PhD Sunday, June 14, 2009 . ' I was recently invited to speak at the Virginia Youth Tobacco Program’s Annual Conference in Richmond, Virginia. My topic was whether snus (smokeless tobacco) might help some smokers to quit smoking. Drs Thomas Eissenberg (Victoria Commonwealth University) and Dr Lois Beiner (University of Massachusetts) also gave presentations in the same session on the topic of smokeless tobacco (and particularly snus). Dr Eissenberg's presentation showed that most of the snus products launched so far in the USA deliver relatively low nicotine levels, and Dr Beiner's presentation showed that most Americans (wrongly) believe that smokeless tobacco is at least as harmful to health as cigarettes, and that relatively few are using these new smokeless products. Of course if the products deliver relatively little nicotine, and the population believes them to be just as harmful as cigarettes its really no surprise that few smokers are switching to them. Why would they? I continue to be perplexed as to why many tobacco control experts have great difficulty in admitting that many forms of smokeless tobacco are much less harmful than cigarettes (no lung cancer or respiratory diseases, and lower rates of virtually every other tobacco-caused illness than smoking, makes it at least 95% less harmful)' . What are your views?

sometime i smoke and i don't think it will effect me more

Probably not, Suby. There are a lot of smokeless tobacco products already available. They do not appeal to smokers. I was a smoker for years. I understand the reasons they like tobacco and smoking. I could be tempted again, myself. I enjoyed every single smoke and pipe. And I am not a 'fussy' non-smoker. It does not bother me. Anyone can sit at my table and smoke.

http://www.quittobacco.com/facts/effects.htm Smokeless tobacco sounds good, but the chewing in the mouth elevates the risk of aquiring mouth cancer. Please, see the link. Why exchange one risk in favor of another? Is mouth cancer better than lung cancer? Why not quit cold turkey?
