There are many controvertial articles published on Internet about the impact of Swedish Snus on Public health. Many suggest, Swedish snus is much safer than smoking cigarette. If it is true, why EU is not lifting ban on snus?
Political leaders and researchers shuld consider this disputed issue more seriously to save milions lives of the smokers world wide!
