Your article here surely does: http://tobaccoharmreduction.org/faq/othernicotineproducts.htm Quoth the article: "The one large study that found an association with oral cancer looked at subjects who used dry snuff in the early- and mid-20th century. There are many explanations for that study result, and we will never know if that old product really did cause disease risks that current products do not. Fortunately, it hardly matters: no one is using mid-20th century dry snuff anymore." Uh...*I* use dry snuff.  Exclusively.  I go through two 1.15 ounce cans of W. E Garrett & Sons Sweet Mild Snuff each and every week for the past 20 years. I never go anywhere without my snuffbox, and it is kept perpetually full. AND I'm healthy as a horse - resting blood pressure rate 115/75, with a resting pulse rate of 69 beats per minute.  The doc says that of all his patients, I have the best chance of living to be 100 years old. Okay, so I'm only one guy and that isn't a controlled study by any means.  But hey...it can't be THAT bad.  At least, not for me.

Just in case we were not clear enough, we didn't mean that no one was using dry snuff but only that nowadays no one is using a dry snuff product quite like the product referred to in that study. And while the research seems to indicate that moist snuff may be safer than dry snuff, using either is a great deal safer than smoking tobacco.     Report
