A Qualitative and Quantitative Risk Assessment of Snuff Dipping
52
TL;DR: There is insufficient evidence for a causal link between the use of Swedish snuff and increased risk for cardiovascular disease, and adequate control measures should be taken to keep the levels of these nitrosamines in smokeless tobacco products as low as is technically feasible.

TL;DR: Snus availability in Sweden appears to have contributed to the unusually low rates of smoking among Swedish men by helping them transfer to a notably less harmful form of nicotine dependence.

Smokeless tobacco use and risk of cancer of the pancreas and other organs
TL;DR: The study suggests that smokeless tobacco products may be carcinogenic on the pancreas and tobacco‐specific N‐nitrosamines are plausible candidates for the carcinogenicity of smokeless Tobacco products in the Pancreas.
Swedish Moist Snuff and Myocardial Infarction Among Men
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess whether long-term use of Swedish moist snuff (widely used among Swedish men) increases the risk of acute myocardi acute myocardial infarction.

Smokeless tobacco and cardiovascular disease.
TL;DR: The use of smokeless tobacco involves a much lower risk for adverse cardiovascular effects than smoking does, and whether or not the apparent risk reduction is a useful strategy to help inveterate smokers to quit is a matter of debate.

Decreased Levels of Tobacco-Specific N-Nitrosamines in Moist Snuff on the Swedish Market
TL;DR: The result of the survey shows that the level of TSNAs in moist snuff on the Swedish market has been greatly reduced since the middle of the 1980s.

The Causes of Cancer: Quantitative Estimates of Avoidable Risks of Cancer in the United States Today
Richard Doll,Richard Peto +1 more
- 01 Jan 1981
TL;DR: Evidence that the various common types of cancer are largely avoidable diseases is reviewed, and it is suggested that, apart from cancer of the respiratory tract, the types of cancers that are currently common are not peculiarly modern diseases and are likely to depend chiefly on some long-established factor.

Smokeless tobacco use and increased cardiovascular mortality among Swedish construction workers.
TL;DR: Although the risk of cardiovascular disease associated with the use of smokeless tobacco users and smokers face a higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease than nonusers, the excess risk gives cause for preventive actions.
