Hello

Does anyone know of any studies investigating smokeless tobacco (mainly snuff, which you use by putting it under your lip and let the agent absorb though the muccosa) as a risk factor for lower limb disorders. In Sweden this is a very common form of tobacco however very little research has been published in this field.

Hi Björn,

The website whyquit.com has an extensive library on all such matters,
I think that it only has one link to snuff, but am not certain.

This nineteen year old died from cancer from chewing tobacco


The page also provides a link to the 'latest smokeless tobacco news',

I searched for lower limb disorders and legs but nothing turned up on that.
