Snus & Tobacco Research Studies & Resources

While American Snus has only been designed and manufactured in the past few years, Sweden, the original inventor of snus, has been in existence for over 200 years.

Thus a great number of papers, studies, especially long term studies, on the health effects of Swedish Snus have been documented and are available today.

These links will take you to a number of them as well as other information of interest concerning Swedish Snus and the early studies on some of the original American-manufactured Snus.

Since Swedish Snus is regulated as a Food Product by the Swedish Government, it must meet strict quality and manufacturing standards.  The major by-product of this is that Swedish Snus has the lowest levels of TSNA's (carcinogens which naturally occur in tobacco) than snus made by other methods and enormously lower than most chewing tobacco or other forms of oral tobacco.
